It definitely has no support for a tv tuner card, and I doubt whether the second parallel port card will be detected, but if you have a GNUmach kernel with only the drivers you really need (say the IDE driver and a network driver) and there is no conflict between those and the tv tuner card and the parallel port card, it should run as if the tv tuner card and parallel port card do not exist. The problem is probably that the autodetection of the network and or SCSI devices in the standard Debian GNUmach kernel interacts badly with one of your ``strange'' devices.
