- How do I disable PCMCIA probing at boot, along with a lot of other
things I don't use, in order to increase boot speed?

I don't know if Fedora comes with any funky GUI tools for this, but you can always 
do it manually.
As root, check the following directories for any reference to PCMCIA:
/etc/rcX.d/
where X is a number.  If you find any that look like /etc/rcX.d/S09pcmcia (it'll be 
a symlink to ../init.d/pcmcia) then unlink it.
I find doing something like this helps occasionally (it unlinks the starting and 
stopping services):
as root in /etc:
find ./ -iname "[S,K]??pcmcia" | xargs unlink && ./init.d/pcmcia stop
This will find all your PCMCIA service links (both starting and stopping) and unlink 
them, and then stop the currently running PCMCIA service.

Grant.
