Re,

I've never had problem setting up my sblive.. now i've recompiled 2.2.18 
kernel with sblive support.. all went smoothly, dmesg shows:

Creative EMU10K1 PCI Audio Driver, version 0.7, 13:38:42 Mar 14 2001
emu10k1: EMU10K1 rev 7 model 0x8027 found, IO at 0xb800-0xb81f, IRQ 9

when i load xmms.. it refuses to play: 

** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such device

well, ls -la shows:

crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   3 Nov 30 10:23 /dev/dsp

i've tried "MAKEDEV audio", but to no avail. any ideas?
