I don't know what is causing the problem, but try this. Add 
(ISOLATE CLEAR)
to you /etc/isapnp.conf

You may also have to add
(READPORT 0x203)
to /etc/isapnp.conf. I use 0x203, but it can be different for your
hardware.

see 'man isapnp.con'


Maybe this (in /etc/isapnp.conf) will help debugging...
