I am trying to install my SoundBlaster WaveEffects 16 PNP card and I
am having a hell of a time getting this thing going. First I got the
card to configure using isapnp, as you can see below. Then I tried
using modprobe to activate the sb module. Once that failed, I tried the
sound module, but that failed too. As I understand, these modules will
insert the necessary required dependency modules too. As you can see,
modprobe gives me an error. I have tried modconf too. It failed with the
same error, but as I understand, all this does is automatically update
/etc/modules.conf and add the modprobe command to a startup script. So,
if I can't get it to work with modprobe, the modconf will not work either.
I checked /lib/modules/2.2.10/misc and both the modules are there. What is wrong
here?
