This is what I suspected.

I've read them through a lot of times, but the only practical suggestion I found was to have   
a look into my BIOS settings. Problem is the machine we are talking about is an IBM PS VP: I   
don't know if you ever had the chance to tamper with one, but its BIOS configuration doesn't   
go any farther than letting me choose what lpt and com ports the i/o connectors on the mb   
should be matched to. Also, since it's a non PnP BIOS, it obviously lacks any settings in   
that area, and that's why I had to use userconfig.

The card works with another OS (OS/2), so it's ok, and I also tried moving the card and the   
HD into a completely different machine (only changing the kernel, for obvious reasons) and   
the behaviour is the same. 
 
WRT the kernel, I followed the instruction I found in i4b's handbook and here's what I have   
(I only report what I think is relevant): 
 
controller isa0 
controller pnp0 
options "ELSA_QS1ISA"                                   
#device isic0 at isa? port ? net irq ? vector isicintr  
device isic0 at isa? port ? irq ?                       
pseudo-device "i4bq921"                                 
pseudo-device "i4bq931"                                 
pseudo-device "i4b"                                     
pseudo-device "i4btrc" 1                                
pseudo-device "i4bctl"                                  
pseudo-device "i4brbch" 2                               
 
As you see I reported two device isic0 lines, one is written as suggested in i4b's handbook,   
the other is copied from 3.4R kernel LINT file: I obviously tried both and none works. 
 
 
 
My suspicions are that userconfig, while stating that it set up my card correctly, actually   
fails to do so, even if my kernel reports to find it there. Is this possible? 
 
Here's my kernel.conf: 
 
pnp 1 0 os irq0 15 port0 0x160 enable  
q                                      
 
and the corresponding dmesg's output: 
Probing for PnP devices:

 Bye & Thanks

P.S. In the meanwhile, thinking I would get no more answers, I sent you the debug output   
with more details, so we had some crossing of messages, sorry about this.
