Thanks for the tip. I tried setting the IRQ to 10, as suggested with
modprobe sb esstype=1869 irq=10
I then got the error:
kernel: sb: Interrupt test on IRQ10 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
looking at /proc/interrupts shows:
0: timer
1: keyboard
2: cascade
10: soundblaster
11: eth0
12: PS/2 Mouse
14: ide0
15: ide1
There is a second column between these two labeled CPUO.
It has a non zero value for all but 2, 10, NMI, and ERR.
Can anyone offer any further ideas?
Thanks much,
Russ
