Intel 440LX+NCR53C810 trouble

Sorry for the trouble and my beastly English.
The problem is that I can't use my old and good NCR53C810 and the HP SCSI II
disk connected neither with W95 (and that's not a problem) neither with Linux
2.0.35 (that's the problem).
They worked properly whith my old ALI14XX matherboard and a AMD486/100.
Now they are on an Intel 440LX and a PII/233 with a bios recently flash
upgraded.
Windoze says that the controller would use memory reserved by bios to plug and
play extension (although I disabled in bios setup plug & play OS, because Linux
is my main OS).
To avoid any conflicts I removed from the matherboard all the boards but
the video and the ncr ones.

The boot mesages, /proc/pci, /proc/interrupts, /proc/ioports are:

I'd like to know if there are some means to make working my NCR810
on that board.

Regards and thanks if someone can help.
