>Description:
isa0: too many dependant configs (8)

This message appears during the probe phase of boot up.  It happens 
after the kernel finishes probing the pci0 bus and the line before 
the fdc0 floppy controller.

The devices found on the pci0 bus are: isab0 at device 7.0 (isa0), 
atapci0 at device 7.1 (ata0, ata1), uhci0 at device 7.2 (usb0, uhub0), 
ATI Mach64-GI graphics accelerator at 8.0, unknown card (vendor=104b, 
dev=8130) at 9.0 (see Note 1), and vr0 at device 11.0 (mmibus0, amphy0).

Now, my thought is that it found the host to PCI bridge, then scanned 
the PCI bus.  Having found the ISA bridge on the pci0 bus, a scan of 
the isa0 bus seems to be next.  It is at this point where the "isa0" 
error message displays.

After the message, it does probe the rest of the ISA bus: the floppy 
controller, the keyboard controller, vga0, the system console, I/O 
ports, the sound card (SB AWE64 Gold), and the hard drives.

I would be grateful for your thoughts on what is wrong, and how to
fix it.

Thanks In Advance ~ TIA,
-Shawn

Note 1:  The <unknown card> is my SCSI card.  I suspect that it is 
unknown because it is a BusLogic FlashPoint card, and it is 
advertised that there is no support for it.  I would take this 
opportunity to beg for it!  I have 3 CD-ROM drives, a CD burner, 
and a scanner on my SCSI Bus.  I have flashed the BIOS to at least 
version 1.41, and I am not sure, but I think it is version 1.41i.

P.S. I just happened to think that it might be my modem.  It slipped 
my mind, because I have internet service from my LAN, and LINT didn't 
make much mention of modems.  Do you think this is it?  It doesn't make 
sense to me, because the serial ports are not probed until later.

How would I go about getting modem drivers for a WiseComm Accellerator 
Pro Internal 56k with Voice (full hardware, I believe) Modem.  The 
file I downloaded for Win32 is M56VIWRP.EXE.  I still have the file, 
but that doesn't do me any good now. =)

>How-To-Repeat:
Just reboot the computer, it happens at every boot.  It even happens 
when booting with the GENERIC kernel.
