I've recently solved this type of problem for a PnP isa card with a 
serial port for my new Logitech mouse, and I've done it with a PnP 
SoundBlaster 16 on a different box.  If your machine is a dual boot 
DOS/Linux machine, and you GUS works in DOS/Windoze then you can work out 
a method of warm booting Linux from the DOS system with the card already 
configured.  Otherwise, check out Peter Fox's isapnptools package 
available from Red Hat's ftp server.  This package should allow you to 
set the configuration of your card under Linux with some time and perhaps 
some frustration on your part.
