I'm using my AWE64G under -current, but it should work just fine for you, if you install Luigi Rizzo's PnP code (See http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/). After you build a patched kernel, boot with -c to bring up the configuration screen, then enter: # pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 # pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x208 # pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20 Line 1 configure sb, sbmidi, and opl; line 2 configures the gameport; line 3 configures the AWE synth. You should also look at Randall Hopper's homepage, as he has done a lot of work on AWE support, and created a number of very nice ports that support AWE cards: http://multiverse.com/~rhh/
