If I am not mistaken, isapnp only does pnp detection. If you choose to
compile into the kernel, then you may need to pass some params to get the
kernel to detect (sometimes they auto detect, but I'm not too good with
RedHat clones). For example, to detect my second NIC card, I have to pass
extra info in the lilo boot params.
