Yes I printed and read both several times which confused me
more because I think the author was talking about a different
'vintage' of CMI-8330.. I was, of course, hoping to not have to
re-compile the kernel but I will try that if all else fails.. I felt,
since there are so many MB's out there with that on board scheme,
there must be a set of modules somewhere... Maybe not... I still
can't understand why isapnp finds the chip yet the chip is marked
"pci."

Yes it is and all looks well except when trying to play a
simple audio CD...

Slack9.1 defaults on installation with isapnp tools..

This I get with my modprobe sb entry, except for the irq..

I think, but not sure, I tried setting irq 10 to legacy but I
will double check.. Could it be so simple? I do know there are no
other devices using irq 10.. I'm confused with this too because where
does irq 10 come from except, what, isapnp?? I don't see irq 10
anywhere until I run modprobe sb... I do know the BIOS grabs irq 5
right off the bat way before Linux is run, for the NIC _and_ a pci
serial card that's needed because the onboard serial ports are dead..
Maybe I should shuffle some of this stuff around and get the sound
working FIRST?? The NIC is PCI, and IRQ 5 is shared by both serial
ports plus the NIC, and they all coexist and work this way... That
floored me..

Me too, but I've been around long enough to believe anything
can happen with these bloody things.. <grin>

The subject machine sans X because don't need and fairly
small HD.. I thought that maybe I should be installing Slack 9.0 or,
maybe, 7.1 instead due to it's age..
APPRECIATE!!
