Ah.  You're running 3.x which assumes that port ranges in the 0x1000 to
0x9000 are EISA slots and prints out that message.

While you can abuse the ISA hint mechanism in that manner its really much
nicer to attach EISA devices the correct way but since no EISA attachment
exists yet this isn't possible.  I'll add creation of an EISA lnc front
end to my TODO for 4.0/5.0.

Er...  I've code code that does it but it requires a custom driver.

What was the unknown device listed on slot 8 again?
