Look for "isapnp". For non-PNP cards you need different functions to
detect specific types of card, e.g. network, sound, IDE or SCSI controller,
serial or parallel ports, etc. Some cards may need boot command line
arguments to specify port address and IRQ.
By the way, Red Hat 9 is as obsolete as ISA. A newer distro should work
better, if you choose one that is suitable for your hardware (unless, of
course, you have proprietary software that requires RH9.)
