Yep. I have one of those, a "SystemSoft" BIOS, and I'm seeing that too.
But, Windows does work, and I'm pretty sure that it uses the PnP BIOS
too, so there must be some way to get it to work (or detect that it's
broken and not use it, at least).

On what kind of cardbus bridge was that? Not the "O2 Micro Inc 6832" by
any chance? I'm having some problems getting that to work as well.
I had to tell it to map memory in the legacy ISA range to make it
work with a 3c589D card. Now I'm trying a 3c575 (cardbus card), but
it's hanging somewhere.
