Well, I configured my kernel for SB 16 first, then patched it with awedrv,
redid make menuconfig with AWE32 support (see auxiliary devices at the
bottom). Then I did a pnpdump and uncommented the normal Soundblaster
settings I set before when going through make menuconfig:
INT 5, Port 0x220, DMA 1 & 3, Port 330 for MPU401
isapnp is called on startup by default, check what file it calls on your
system, for me it's /etc/isapnp.conf.
Why don't you just try isapnp with the pnpdump you prepared and see
whether it initializes the card without errors ?
After booting with the new kernel (don't forget to rerun lilo !!!) it all
works a treat... As I call the init program from the awe32 tools to load
soundfonts into the AWE's memory the kernel daemon inserts sound.o
automagically for me.
