I had a similar problem to yours with a toshiba sattelite some
times ago, but under FreeBSD 5.X.  I don't have that laptop

It was possible to go further after disabling eisa support, but
I don't remember exactly which hint was needed though.  It should
be something like this:
hint.eisa.0.disabled="1"
