The only time i had trouble with that was when the bios allocated the
interrurt to a PCI device. I had my aha152x on irq12. Sometimes it work,
but the bios would randomly assign the ps/2 irg on bootup. Easily fixed.

"AT port"? Are the IO ports not used by PCI? No reason to, I guess.

Doesnt 'sge' means 5th scsi generic device found by the bios?
Check the messages when you 'modprobe' or 'insmod'.
 Is this a scanner?
