You need to pass the "isa-pnp=0" option to the module to get it to load. Note that the modprobe utilities have changed their configuration layout from 2.4 to 2.6 (put "options snd-es18xx isa-pnp=0" in a file under /etc/modprobe.d/) I also had problems with playback looping infinitely over about the first second of sound. There's a patch on my machine to switch the driver to alternate interupt detection code to get around this.

The kernel event interface has been influx and seems to have just settled down (even with as recent a kernel as 2.6.12 there seems to be a disagreement with udev and the kernel on how the kernel event's socket interface coexists with its /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug interface -- events get dropped). -- Tyson Whitehead (-twhitehe at uwo.ca -- WSC-) Computer Engineer Dept. of Applied Mathematics, Graduate Student- Applied Mathematics University of Western Ontario, GnuPG Key ID# 0xF7666BFF London, Ontario, Canada
