You probably have a conflict with your printer port, or
isapnp is not initializing your soundcard.
The 2.2.5 kernel likes to use irq7 for /dev/lp0, so
make sure your bios sets the lpt port to irq7, NOT AUTO.
Then make sure your soundcard is initialized in /etc/isapnp.conf.
Did you read the CS4232 doc in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound?
You can use the modprobe commands from the commandline, but it
is easier to put the info in /etc/conf.modules.
You might want to ask around for a good set of conf.modules
entries for the CS4236B, maybe in comp.os.linux.setup
The entries should look something like:
alias char-major-14 sound
alias sound cs4232
options cs4232 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
post-install cs4232 modprobe opl3
This is just a guess. But conf.module entries like these will
autoload sound whenever you need it , if you have the kernel
module auto-loader enabled.
