I'm at a loss. While installing debian probing of my soundblaster live
value card failed. I've downloaded isapptools and pciutils but I'm not
sure how to go about configuring the card. I created the file attached
to this e-mail with the command pcidump > /etc/isapnp.conf.
Is it a soundblaster, or a soundblaster live! card? They use different
kernel modules (sb and emu10k1, I think). Also, is it ISA or PCI - if
it's a PCI card, isapnp won't be much help. If it's PCI, make sure the
BIOS has 'PnP OS' (or similar) set to off, and it should set up the
IO/IRQ assignments for you just fine.
HTH,
