One suggestion was to comment out the pnp0 isa line in your config file, i.e.

controller	isa0
#controller	pnp0		# PnP support for ISA
controller 	eisa0

** It would really be nice if you could disable pnp0 in the boot -c dialog **
(At least I can't see how to do that :-) ).

Then config, make depend, and build the kernel.

This does work but it doesn't help debug our PnP code, and I have seen several
other messages relating to problems in our PnP code over the past couple of
days.  When I have time I've been looking in the PnP code trying to find the
bug - it doesn't look like an easy find to me.
