Guess: You have 'PNP controlled by:' set to OS, and not BIOS. The way PNP
assigns interrupts is different from the way other OS'es do this. Another OS
might think that sound or video-performance is more important on a server :)

Do the cards work? The two multiboot machines I have both do the same, and I
have yet to find any ill effects.

A child can go only so far in life without potty training.  It is not
mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty
trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.
