Although I don't have that test box in front of me now, I'm almost
certain that I do have CONFIG_ISAPNP enabled.  Searching the archives
turned up a fix similar to the one below which is part of 2.5.40, (which
I haven't been able to download yet).  I won't be able to test this
until tonight, but perhaps Thomas can see if this fixes the same oops
for him in the meantime.

Thanks,
Steven
