asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Wildcard failing to load on asterisk@home

I have a E110P which I can't seem to make function and i think it has 
something to do with interrupts, but I've never had to deal with them 
before and was wondering if someone could offer some guidance.

a modprope zaptel loads fine.
when i then do
modprobe wcte11xp

i get the following:
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.1.EL/misc/wcte11xp.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
       You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.1.EL/misc/wcte11xp.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.1.EL/misc/wcte11xp.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.1.EL/misc/wcte11xp.o: insmod wcte11xp failed

I then went to
# cat /proc/interrupts
            CPU0

   1:          3          XT-PIC  keyboard

  14:          0          XT-PIC  ide2
NMI:          0

and i don't see my wildcard, but...

and then a

shows my card is there, but sharing an IRQ with something else.

my zaptel.conf is

span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15
dchan=16
bchan=17-31
loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk

and
# ztcfg -v

Zaptel Configuration
=====================
SPAN 1: CCS/HDB3 Build-out: 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)

31 channels configured.

ZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1: No such device or address (6)

which i guess makes sense...

Now, I'm a bit stuck as to the correct procedure for correcting this. 
Should I move the card to another slot, try going into the BIOS and 
allocating another IRQ no manually? is it even that that is causing the 
problem. (I haven't tried these yet as getting to the box is tricky, but 
if that will fix then i will obv make the trip)

Could anyone advise me how to proceed further on this? This is my first 
zaptel/PRI build after numerous SIP and CAPI configs without problems...
I'm hoping it is something simple, but i've never fiddled with IRQs 
before and just need someone to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance
