When properly configured, the Linux-2.4 kernel is a PnP OS. Not all drivers are fully aware of this, but the ALSA drivers most certainly are. I have no problems with a SB 64AWE Gold, Linux-2.4.17, and ALSA 0.9.0-beta10. "lspci" and "lspnp" can be used to figure out the PCI and ISA-PnP structure. The "dump_pirq" tool from the pcmcia-cs package can be used to figure out the exact IRQ routings on the motherboard (provided that the BIOS doesn't lie). Erik -- J.A.K.
