Thanks, trying that now.

One more problem to add to my growing list...
Sometimes when booting, no pattern to this AFAIK, it hangs just after the line processor 0 is pentium mmx 267mhz. All my system lights go off, no noises etc. Have to power off and then restart, which plays havok with the HDD. Any clues?

I have dsl running on a Compaq Armada SB, which is almost
the same as yours.  Here is what I have in /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias snd-card-0 sb
options snd-card-0 index=0
options sb isapnp=0 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 dma16=5 irq=5 multiple=0

Try adding those three lines to your /etc/modprobe.conf and reboot.

I haven't tried using alsa lately, but if you want to try that, then these commented out lines used to work:
#alias snd-card-0 snd_es18xx
#options snd-card-0 index=0
#options snd_es18xx enable=1 isapnp=0 port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 dma1=1 dma2=5 irq=5 fm_port=0x388
#install snd_es18xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd_es18xx && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || ;
#remove snd_es18xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd_es18xx

Hey. I stuck that in /etc/modprobe.conf and tweaked this and that. When i quoted out the first 3 lines, but used the other lines instead I got no sound, but I got this in my dmesg:

sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
SB 3.01 dtected OK (220)
ESS chip ESS1878 detected
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (driver version 1.16)
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

I feel that I am close to getting this sorted...

I cannot access the BIOS on my lappy -  don't know why not. I mash all sorts of F keys throughout the boot, but Lilo always kicks in. How do I have a look at the IRQ settings without getting to the BIOS? Or does anyone know the correct button?

I also still cannot get the WLAN card working.

If you want to check for irq conflicts try this:

dmesg | grep -i irq

Thanks. It doesn't mention any conflicts directly, except
"sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict" again.
