I think, your card can't work with IRQ 15, because thist resource is
used by the system (IDE I think). Try different IRQ's. Is it a
PnP-Card? Then configure it with isapnp.
To your kernel-problem: did you compile it with egcs? It's a common
problem, that X won't work then. Compile your kernel with the gcc
2.7.2.x, then it will work (hopefully).
