[SWLUG] Ancient sb card under Red Hat 9

[Gareth Lewis]

it might be that this is a ACPI problem where newer OS-es can do funny things with IRQs being shared  ?    

try and boot the kernel with a switch similar to 

-noapci   

or maybe you might have to  explicitly enable acpi if RH 9 doesn't have it on as a default.  

I don't pretend to understand this stuff tho'. 

Gareth.

Peter,

  Sound (& CD-playing) in that PC is working in a Red Hat 7.0 partition 
and a Windows partition, so the hardware is OK. Some change was made from Red Hat 8 onwards that stopped the card being recognised correctly. Oh well, 
have to stick to RH7.0...
  Thanks for the advice,
Gareth
