Alright, I think you have 'hit the nail on the head'.  I can nuke the 
isapnp.conf file and something STILL initializes the card.  I get the 
same dmesg with the same interrupt conflict.  So how is PnP support 
happening with 2.4.x?  I'm running this silly Caldera LTP which I think 
was a 3.x precursor so I'll bet the two boot similarly.
