Do you have a dual-boot with Win9x? If so, what IRQ/io does it report the card being on? Does this match what Linux thinks? Or maybe it's a jumper-configured card, in which case, make sure Linux sees the same settings that the card is actually on. If Linux doesn't match the actual settings, you can feed the settings to the module when it installs. For example, I have a file "/etc/modutils/sound" which has the two lines: options uart401 irq=9 io=0x330 options sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=1 hth, Kent ----- End forwarded message ----- nah, if it wuz a conflict, he would get an error message telling him the device or resource wuz busy.. im thinkin the former, and I forgot wut card it wuz you stated.. repeat it, and I or someone else should be able to tell yaz which is the proper module to load =)
