Hmm. So, yep, it failed.

Since you say you've had it working in the last, I wonder if the trouble is a
newer version of isapnptools attempting to be more careful than before. What
happens if you try the following for isapnp.conf:


(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE CLEAR)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)

(CONFIGURE BNK1361/-1 (LD 0
 (NAME "BNK1361/-1[0]{K56 SVD/SP          }")
))

(CONFIGURE BNK1361/-1 (LD 1

 (IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200) (CHECK))
 (INT 0 (IRQ 12 (MODE +E)))


 (NAME "BNK1361/-1[1]{K56 SVD/SP          }")
 (ACT Y)
))

(WAITFORKEY)

The isapnptools home page has an interesting snippet:

>>>>>
5-Jun-1999: Please also note that the error message 

     /etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- FATAL - IO rangecheck attempted while device
activated.

is completely different from the problem reported on 28-May-1999, which was that
IO resources were being reported as in use when they shouldn't be. The message
above means what it says. If you want to reconfigure a device already
activated, you should deactivate it first using (ACT N), see also (CHECK).
<<<<<

You'e not managine to run isapnp twice somehow, are you? Something like
originally running it from a user rc script at startup, and now your upgraded
Linux runs it already in one of the standard startup scripts?

I'm dammed if I can see why it should find something else allocated at 0x200.
The above modified isapnp.conf might get round this anyway; ISOLATE CLEAR is
supposed to reset all hardware back to their default settings.

If the hint from the isapnptools page is right, I suppose putting:

(CONFIGURE BNK1361/-1 (LD 1

 (NAME "BNK1361/-1[1]{K56 SVD/SP          }")
 (ACT N)
))

before the (CONFIGURE ... ACT Y)) might be worth a go as well.
