The manual page for isapnp says:
   [...] The isapnp bus ignores  device that have already been found
   and configured as isa(4) devices.  The isapnp bus is only effective
   on machines which lack a PnP BIOS, or on which the PnP BIOS has
   been disabled. [...]

So that should not be necessary. I have no idea why it is not found
on the isa bus with your config.

Since your ess does appear at isapnp I think you should use it that way;
Charles M. Hannum already suggested a change to the respective files.

Good luck,
