I had a lot of trouble with this myself. I assume it's a pnp isa
AWE64. You can compile the sound into the kernel, using the default
interrupts from the card. I can't remember why, but I think I needed to
make it modular on my smp kernel?
If you compile as a module then use isa pnp to configure the card, and
then install the sound modules via another script.
One last bit of advice. Turn off all your integrated peripherals that
you aren't using, serial ports, second ide controller etc. Get the card
going with isapnp and then switch them back on in the bios one by one.
As I said, I had a tough time doing this, but it did work eventually,
and that was probably 20 kernels ago.
If you do decide to compile into the kernel, the only change I needed
to make was to change the irq from 7 to 5 in the config. All the other
default setting were correct.
