I have come to the pont of having to mail this list in search of a greater
understanding of what I could possibably be doing wrong in reguards to
enabling my sound card. Under 2.2.X I was able to include the cards
configuration during the config, yes, I understand that this has changed
in opt for other methods. These methods though are very strange and
somewhat unclear in the current documentation set. I have tried several
possible built-in and modular configs with the results being the same, below
I will include information that may or may not be what is necessary to get
possible solutions to this, but odd or exact suggestions will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you, Phil Smith

I can only hope that I have missed an important note somewhere and a simple
answer will raise its head.
Hi
...maybe it is a bit off-topic here, sorry guys! Phil, you better asked
this Q on comp.os.linux.hardware / setup / whatever, am I right?
I got this card working fine with 2.4.x. Currently configured as modules,
I even managed to get them to autoload. Looks like you (also) are using
OSS. So, will try to recap main points of my configuration (that box is
at home):
in .config sound, OSS, CS4232, OPL3 - all as modules (to produce sound.o,
soundcore.o, cs4232.0, ad1848.o, uart401.o, opl3.o - I think)
Although in .config I DO have PnP enabled, I am still running isapnp on
startup (perhaps I don't need to do that, do I?)
in modules.conf
alias char-major-14 cs4232
pre-install cs4232 modprobe "-k" sound
post-install cs4232 modprobe "-k" opl3
options cs4232 ... (IO, dma, IRQ,...)
I think, this is it. May be I confused something above - but you should be
able to guess what I meant:-) If not - I'll send you the exact
config. lines from home.

With the removal of the pnp selection, it worked, answered in another post to another topic, the 3c509 sb issue, almost as if isapnp is grabing the card its self and holding on in some way. Thank you Phil
