Eric,
You're in luck. I have the same running. I messed around with it for awhile
until I read a little page setup by the guy who wrote the yamaha driver.
Following those directions, I came up with this. It does work.
With kernel 2.2.3:
<*> OSS sound modules
<M> 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support
<M> Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support
<M> Microsoft Sound System support
<M> Support for Yamaha OPL3-SA2, SA3, and SAx based PnP cards
<M> SoftOSS software wave table engine
<M> FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support
<M> Loopback MIDI device suppor
then:
insmod mpu401
insmod ad1848 irq=11
insmod opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=3
insmod opl3 io=0x388
You can also put these it /sbin/init.d/boot.local/ and have them load
on boot.
**HINT**: turn the BIOS "PNP OS" option "OFF". This makes all the difference
in the world.
