This sounds like an irq problem.  But, still it's weird because cs4236
is ISA and should be basically intact from PCI driver.  One
possibility is that es1968 has a legacy feature to emulate ISA WSS or
SB ports, and this conflicts although they are disabled in the driver
code.

Anyway, please check whether only cs4236 is affected and other two
cards work.

BTW, if only the card number matters, you can pass index module option
for each driver (it's anyway recommended if you install multiple
cards).  Then the card is assigned as expected regardless of the
module insertion order.
