In any case, my machine does not have an ISA bus. Why should it? It's a laptop!

A bus is not something with expansion slots. Your machine has an ISA bus, or LPC rather, if only to hang its BIOS of. That earlier report about BIOS chips shitting themselves due to aborts on LPC together with ACPI involving the BIOS sounds a bit suspicious (and in that case using 0xed shouldn't help any).
