Apparently this is not an issue; looking at the kernel sources
( http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/pnp/quirks.c#L135 )
a hack is called for some PnP cards, including the SB16 and AWE32/64 because
they use 3 i/o ports instead of 1 and the PnP discovery sequence can discover
only 1 per card -more exactly 1 per service on a card-
So the "increasing port range" doesn't bother me that much.
The problem is more that the card is supposedly detected by the isapnp
subsystem (hence the messages before) but the sb driver does not detect it.
I am thinking more and more of a problem in the kernel itself, rather that a
misinstallation (because it works well using isapnptools) or a debian package
(kernel config) issue.
