Your firmware looks ancient.  A firmware upgrade may help, and
probably won't make things work.

I'm mostly mystified.  Assuming that we've found all the PCI hardware
in the box, it looks like this is happening while we are attempting to
probe the ISA bus.  But the isa bus itself is probably OK, since we
are using the serial port to print these messages(!).  The floppy
drive controller is the next thing that should have shown up in these
messages.. Is your floppy OK?  

How about sending along a 'show config' too?
