SuSe does it's own thing with configuration - it's best either to totally 
rely on it or else do it all yourself. As has been said, you missed a step

# pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf
# vi /etc/isapnp.conf
# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf


This file is all of the isa config options commented out. The various logical 
devices are listed, and the various config options of each logical device.
I find it best to copy the file, remove most commented lines and then delete 
the original when I'm going. Windoze allocations don't always work, and you 
may need reboots between attempts at it. A or two comment of your own won't 
hurt.
