This is unrelated.  PNPBIOS is a kernel option.  This is telling you that 
your BIOS is not correctly configuring your USB adapter; either you have 
USB turned off in your BIOS, or your BIOS 'PnP OS' option is set to YES.

You'll note that's what it tells you.  We spell things carefully for a 
reason; if it was telling you to remove the PNPBIOS option from your 
kernel config file, that's what it'd say.

Can you change these values and have them work?  If you tweak the 'cd' 
value, can you get any sound out of your external CDROM?  You might also 
try catting something to /dev/audio to see if you get any noise at all.
