I also have a SB16 PnP (Which version do you have? Mine is a version
that has both 8 and 16 bit DMAs, there's another version that only has
two 8 bit ones). Before i moved to ALSA, i used a script something like
this to start it. It may be slightly outdated now, but it's a start.
You'll have to set up isapnptools, i don't believe 2.2.13 has pnp
support. "pnpdump --config" _might_ be all you need, depending on
various factors. i have no idea where the "type=6" came from.
# Plug n Play config
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
# Install basic sound modules
insmod soundcore
insmod sound
# init'ize uart thing, because sb needs it
insmod uart401
# Set up the actual sound card! Pulled numbers out of /etc/isapnp.conf
insmod sb io=0x220 irq=9 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x300 type=6
# Midi support. Note that this automatically loads opl3.o as well
modprobe adlib_card io=0x388
You can also check the mailing list archives, this has been discussed
before (in 1999, so the search engine can help!)
