Hello Linux folks!
This problem sounds the same as mine.
I installed multiple ports (COM3 COM4 LPT2 GAME-PORT) non-pnp ISA card.
I compiled SHARED_IRQ_ENABLE option into the kernel. 
My Linux box can work with COM3 and COM4 and doesn't see LPT2 port on this card. I want to connect my second printer to LPT2.
Could somebody point me where is a problem.
Thanks,
Alex
