ess maestro 2 sound problem (compaq pws5000)

[Chris Smith <chris@shodan.mine.nu>]

Hi,

Anyone know how to get the ESS Maestro 2E sound card working on a compaq
professional workstation 5000?  None of the ess modules or maestro ones
load...  ALSA won't load because i'm using the 2.4.18 kernel.

I'm running woody w/ kernel-2.4.18-i686-smp btw on a dual ppro 200 with
64mb of ram.

Cheers,

- Chris.
