Got a problem here. I have a SoundBlaster 16 car plugged into my computer
and I can't seem to get the OS to detect it duing boot up. here's the
relevant part of my kernel config.

options SBC_IRQ=5
controller      snd0
device  sb0     at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
device  sbxvi0  at isa? drq 5
device  sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330

As far as i can see, there are no other devices configured to use irq 5. I
have Win95 installed on the same machine and this can detect and use the
card perfectly using irq 5 at 0x220. So i'm pretty lost here.

Here's the dmesg output.

sb0 not found at 0x220
sbxvi0 not found
sbmidi0 not found at 0x330

Any ideas, anyone?
