Hi,

ISA cards are currently not probed at first. So the resources an ISA card claims
will not be freed before the ``isa_pnp_probe()'' is called. Why the probe
order is like it is, I don't know. Maybe someone else can explain that.
In my opinion ISA cards should be probed at first, though at least in my kernel,
PCI cards are probed at first. The reason you get ``vend_id == 0'' means the
card is probed as ISA and not PnP.

Try

device isic

instead in your kernel configuration file.
