I'll try to help with the first part. The second one, I can't help at
all.

Login as root on a console or xterm and enter the following:
echo "irqs ----------" > junk
cat /proc/interrupts >> junk
echo "io ----------" >> junk
cat /proc/ioports >> junk
echo "conf.modules ----------" >> junk
cat /etc/conf.modules >> junk
This will give you a list of what is being used for irqs and addresses
for your cards, and how the system is trying to set them up, in the file
called "junk" (you can change the name). If you just want to see them
on the screen, don't do the echo commands and don't do the "> junk" or
">> junk" parts of the commands. You should be able to use any editor
to open the junk file to look at what you have.
The following is mine.
irqs ----------
CPU0
0: 9954458 XT-PIC timer
1: 32551 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 2531 XT-PIC eth0 <---ethernet card irq
7: 0 XT-PIC soundblaster <---sound card irq
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
11: 275355 XT-PIC aic7xxx
12: 1797 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 14113214 XT-PIC ide0
15: 5 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
io ----------
0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc

e400-e4be : aic7xxx
f000-f007 : ide0
f008-f00f : ide1
conf.modules ----------
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 eepro <---ethernet card driver
options eepro io=0x240 irq=5 <---your driver will differ
# pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias sound sb <---sound driver
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1 <---sound module
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=3 mpu_io=0x330 <---sound config
What does your list say? It seems like they are being configured and
end up sharing irqs or addresses.
