  the following error - "Unknown PCI device 1039:5600" and "Unknown
  PCI device 1039:9".  It suggests reading PCI.H, but this doesn't
  give me any immediately usefull information like how to turn off
  the probe (or even if that is an option).

pci.h is a list of all pci vendor and device id's known to linux. if
the pci initialisation code doesn't recognise an id, it prints a
warning. what it means is that your kernel is old.

looking at pci.h for 2.2.6:

#define PCI_VENDOR_ID_SI                0x1039
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SI_ACPI           0x0009

so it's your probably your chipset. you've probably got a motherboard
with a SiS 5600 chipset.

update your kernel, or better still your distribution, RH4.2 is quite
old and based on libc5.
