The actual bios printout would initialize a net device and a scsi device
to the same ID before linux ever loaded, so it wasn't really a linux
problem.
In my situation this was a bios bug. I got around it by playing around
with BIOS Plug and Play configuration. I just played with which IRQ's
were dedicated to Legacy ISA devices, and which were dedicated to PnP
PCI/ISA devices.
If yours is BIOS related, rather than linux related, try doing what I just
described. If that doesn't work, try contacting the motherboard
manufacturer.
Oh yea, another possibility, try disabling "PnP Aware OS" in bios as well.
That may be why it works with windoze 95.
