HIYA

Recently I recompiled my kernel with support for my SB AWE 32 card.
Regarding to the instructions on:

http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/awepnp-freebsd.txt

==========================================================================
Some basic information:
==========================================================================
OS ver: FreeBSD 2.2.7
Soundcard: SoundBlaster AWE 32 (some early version)
Soundcard device in /dev : snd0

==========================================================================
I included the following lines in my kernel configuration file:
==========================================================================

option		USERCONFIG_BOOT
controller	pnp0
controller	snd0
device		sb0	at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
#device		sbxvi0	at isa? drq 5
device 		sbmidi	at isa?	port 0x330
device		opl	at isa?	port 0x338
device		awe0	at isa?	port 0x620
#device		joy0	at isa?	port "IO_GAME"

Note1: A included sbxvi device leads to a system crash during the boot
process.
Note2: A included joy0 device causes a config err if I run
/usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
Note3: My joystick device is attached to my SounBlaster card

==========================================================================
Below is the content of the kernel.config file:
==========================================================================

USERCONFIG
pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388
pnp 1 1 os disable
pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20
pnp 1 3 os disable
quit

==========================================================================
Below is the output I'll get on each system startup:
==========================================================================

sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
snd0: <MIDI not found>
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
snd0: <Yamaha OPL3 FM>
awe at 0x620 on isa
awe0: <AWE not found>

==========================================================================
Below are the configuration settings got from the DOS program diagnose.exe
==========================================================================

Base I/O address 220H
MPU-401 MIDI port 330H
IRQ 5
Low DMA 1
High DMA 5
Wave-Table 620H

==========================================================================
Now a couple of questions:
==========================================================================

Why crashes a included sbxvi0 device my system?
Why do I get a midi not found msg?
Why do I get a awe not found msg?
Why do I get a config err if I include a joy0 device

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Daniel Haischt
