Reboot your computer and at the 'boot: 'prompt type '-c' then once you're
in Configuration mode type the following exactly.

 pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20
 quit

That should enable the AWE support.

If your soundcard wasn't recognized in the first place then also include
the following command before quitting.

 pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 irq0 <a> drq0 1 drq1 5

where <a> is the IRQ you wish to use.  Make sure it's not conflicting with
anything else.  I use IRQ 5 so my line was;

 pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5

and this is the result from dmesg:

 sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
 snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16>
 sbxvi0 at ? drq 5 on isa
 snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16>
 sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
 snd0: <SoundBlaster MPU-401>
 opl0 at 0x388 on isa
 snd0: <Yamaha OPL3 FM>
 awe0 at 0x620 on isa
 awe0: <SoundBlaster EMU8000 MIDI (RAM512k)>

Good luck.
