Re: AWE64 Problems
You dont need to use isapnp to initialize AWE64. Just turn off pnp support in BIOS, and if you compile the support for it into kernel use values:
<*> OSS sound modules (NEW)
[...]
<*> 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support (NEW)
(5) Sound Blaster IRQ Check from manual of the card (NEW)
(1) Sound Blaster DMA 0, 1 or 3 (NEW)
(5) Sound Blaster 16 bit DMA (SB16, Jazz16, SMW) 5, 6 or 7 (use 1 for 8 ...
(330) MPU401 I/O base of SB16, Jazz16 and ES1688 ...
