  IF PCI steering is the problem -- as seems likely... -- then I think
(and this is consistent with your experience that it works fine in DOS)
that it is the Kingston *driver* that is finding PCI steering and
misdiagnosing it as an IRQ conflict.
  This could be a 95/98 difference.  There might be another/newer
driver available.  Or, yes, another brand's driver is unlikely to
reproduce this particular bug (if that's what it is, of course).
