AC97 sound with devfs and 2.4.6

[Mark Jaroski <mark@geekhive.net>]

Hi All,

I have an Acorp motherboard with built in sound which appears to
be handled by an ac97 chipset.  I spent most of last evening
going through mailing lists and trying different modutils
settings with no luck.

Can anybody provide insight?

Thanks!

The details:

I'm running Sid with kernel 2.4.6-k6, and devfs.

Here's /proc/pci:
