rtl8139 for EN1207D-TX

I'm using the rtl8139.o dirver for the Accton PCI Adapter (EN1207D-TX).
I've succesfully installed it on a Pentium 90 with RedHat 6.0. I'm
having problems getting it to run on a Pentium II 300 under RedHat 5.2

This is what happens when I try to install it.

insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/net/rtl8139.o
/lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/net/rtl8139.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy

I'm not sure if there is an IRQ conflict or some other resource problem
with the kernel. My kernel has modular support for this driver. I'm also
concerned that there may be a problem with the P'n'P BIOS.

I've included some system details below. Please notify if you need any
further informarion.

Thanks a lot

This is what I get from lsmod if it helps.
