Have you tried with a live CD (e.g. Knoppix).
At this stage I suppose no one can really help not knowing if you are stuck with a BIOS issue or not... (and so more Hardware related than UNIX...)

pnpbios
PNPBIOS(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual PNPBIOS(4)
NAME
pnpbios -- support for embedded devices on the motherboard
DESCRIPTION
The pnpbios driver enumerates embedded ISA devices on the motherboard whose BIOS supports ``Plug and Play BIOS Specification''. It assigns
ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports, and memory region) to each device and activates it.
If it cannot assign necessary resources to a device without causing conflict with other devices in the system, the device will not be acti-
vated and will be unavailable to programs.
CAVEATS
There is no explicit way to disable individual embedded devices. The pnpbios driver will find all devices reported by the ``Plug and Play
(PnP)'' BIOS and try to activate them all.
There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to a device. The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is no provision
for manual override.
