In kernel 2.4.X, isapnp can be compiled into the kernel directly so
that you don't really need the isapnp tools. In fact, if you examine
/etc/init.d/isapnp you will see where it exits if there is /proc/isapnp.
In order to set up isapnp under 2.4.X you cat the settings into
/proc/isapnp. If you have the kernel documentation installed read
isapnp.txt for more information.
FWIW, heres the relevent part of my startup script to setup my isapnp modem:
echo "Configuring 2.4 isapnp"
cat > /proc/isapnp <<EOI
card 0 RSS0262
dev 0 RSS0262
irq 0 9
port 0 0x3e8
activate
EOI
I got the card and device IDs from /etc/isapnp.conf and did a fair
amount of experimentation before it worked out right.
