The first thing you have to do is determine if you have PnP compiled into
your kernel and if you have the isapnp tools.

As root, try this;

pnpdump -c > isapnp.conf <enter>

Now have a look at the file you just created;

less isapnp.conf <enter>

You will notice most of it is commented-out - pay attention to those
portions that aren't.

Now, try this;

isapnp isapnp.conf <enter>

Let us know what messages, if any, you received.

Best regards,

Brian
