I had the same problem too.  It seems that pnpdump forgot to dump 2 of
the 3 i/o addresses of the MIDI synthesizer (I got this information
from the AWE driver homepage's FAQ).

Here is my complete isapnp.conf (a lot of comments have been removed),
IDE is completly disabled (and therefore completetly removed).

I use the default settings for all parameter (i.e. I/O 220, IRQ 5, DMA
1 and 5, and I/O 620 for the MIDI synthesizer).

Attachment: isapnp.conf
Description: Binary data

Hope this file can help you,

        Torsten
