Greetings,

I have an Aztech 2320 PNP ISA sound card in a Compaq Prolinea 575e
which I had working with Redhat 6.2.  The tricky thing is that the
secondary IDE port requires a special Compaq driver to work...so I
put my two hard disks on the primary controller and hooked the cdrom
up to the IDE port on the sound card.  I got this setup to work in
6.2 by modifying the isapnp.conf file so that there weren't any
conflicts.

When I upgraded to 7.0 (did a clean install actually), I
tarred/gzipped my old /etc directory and then forgot to move it
somewhere safe! :^(  However, I remember how I set the card up (as
far as isapnp.conf goes)...that doesn't appear to be my current
problem.

As it is, I can use my cdrom just fine (I installed 7 from it).  The
problem is that when I try to use sndconfig to set my card up it
hangs after detecting the proper card.  If I run it with the
noautoconfig switch it doesn't hang, but I get errors when it tries
to insmod the modules.  Most of the error messages have to do with
device or resource busy.

So I tried setting it up by hand.  Before upgrading I printed out my
modules.conf file, so I copied the lines from it into my current one. 
But now I get unresolved symbol errors when I try to install the
modules.  Also, whenever I run isapnp it chokes saying that I'm
trying to CHECK an already activated device.  I can take the CHECK
commands out, but it still won't work.  (And I didn't have that
problem with 6.2.)

Sorry that the error messages aren't verbatim, but it screws my
system up every time I try anything and I have to reboot.  If anyone
can help (including a request for more info) it would be greatly
appreciated (I can't even listen to Enya :().

Thanks,
Ben Logan

P.S.
While on the subject of cdroms...
I've got another machine with a relatively new 40x cd drive in it. 
It reads data fine but skips every once in a while when it's playing
music.  It does this in both windows and linux.  It started just a
few months after I got it, and it hasn't been used much.  Seems like
a short lifespan for a $60 device.  I ran a cleaning cd in it, but
that didn't help...any ideas?
