I've seen PnP cards grab I/O addresses beyond the range of what the
Linux kernel can recognize. Which is why I don't use PnP cards. Some of
them don't come with a program to _set_ the IRQ and I/O address where
you want, so I always go for the non-PnP cards. This may not be the case
with yours at all-- just a comment.

Slot(s) blown? = flaky motherboard = possible/probable outcome from
blown power supply?
