I have : (2)isa non-pnp cards.. SB16(pcm) and a ne2000(ed0). The only other card : is an AGP TNT2 video card. I don't see any error messages here :-). The problem is that PNPBIOS was turned on, which is trying to assign resources to devices. Trouble is PNP0303, PNP0a03, PNP0f13, PNP0501, PNP0700 and PNP0400 defined resources that were claimed previously by devices. There are bugs in PNPBIOS right now where it sorts these devices with the PNP ISA cards. Instead, it should sort them to the front of the list. However, once that done, then other problems with the device attachment system will be exposted (namely that these devices will appear one unit too high and you'll get messages about the 0th unit not being able to allocate them). You can fix that in many ways, but none of them satsifying. Once that's fixed, you'll discover that many of the PNP devices describe mobo devices that haven't traditionally had device drivers. After that, you'll be very close to being able to boot w/o this noise :-) People have said they are working on it. It is a complicated mess that's not easy to unwind.
