So that would lean more towards possible cabling problems. But a conflict with another card still isn't completely out of the question. Also check some other things, like your BIOS settings, make sure that the PCI bus is running at the standard speed and you haven't hotted it up, and your CPU is running at rated speed and isn't overclocked, etc. >BTW, I recompiled the kernel and enabled PNP BIOS option, then I got >something like the following in booting: > >unknown: <PNP0000> can't assign resources >unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources >unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources >unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources >unknown: <PNP0400> can't assign resources >unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources >unknown: <PNP0c02> can't assign resources > >Perhaps this is the reason and I shall turn this option off in kernel? >How to do it?

All the interrupts should be set to PnP unless you have an ISA card with actual jumpers on it that set the card resources.
