Need help with ISA sound card, IRQ conflict and Debian

I don't know where to start, ISA cards and all that irq and io address stuff is before my time, so far I've been lucky when using ISA nics and whatnot, but the machine that i just put together has a ISA nic, soundblaster and vid card, so it's all a-shambles. Anyways, here's the printout from dmesg...


Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
SB 4.13 detected OK (220)
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict


I don't even know where to start :\
Is there a utility or something, to figure this type of stuff out?
Thanks.
 
hail ...

you'll need to use the isapnptools

i had to do this with my AWE, but as i did very long time ago i just cant remember the sequence ...

you'll use isapnp and pnpdump ... i bet you use pnpdump --configure/config > /etc/isapnp.conf ( or the conf file you want ) and then isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

there is a lot of help online out there ...

good luck ...

Usually the cards either have jumpers on them to set the parameters or you have to use a DOS utility to change them in the firmware of the card. But I believe IRQ7 is usually used by the Parallel port, so if you disable that in the BIOS you might not have to do anything.
