Read the doc in /usr/src/linux/Documentation (or whereever you placed your
kernel source). It boils down to:
make {menu,x}config
sound as module
sound blaster
opl2/opl3
mpu-401
recompile
insmod soundcore
insmod sound
insmod uart401
modprobe opl3
insmod sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=0
done.
Add the needed items to /etc/modutils/alias and off you go
If needed, I can give you my info from the laptop, but reading and learning is
obviously more beneficial to you (-:
