Well, since I've got you on the hook, I'm trying to get my Sound 
Blaster card to work under 2.4.x.

It plays CDs.
kmixer works (I can move the sliders up and down and hear the faint 
noise of the 'steps').
I cannot play .wav files.
The card is ISAPNP and I may have an interrupt problem but I cannot 
understand the issue.  Here is output from dmesg and cat 
/proc/interrupts:

isapnp: Scanning for Pnp cards...
isapnp: Calling quirk for 01:00
ISAPnP: SB audio device quirk - increasing port range
isapnp: Calling quirk for 01:02
isapnp: AWE32 quirk - adding two ports
isapnp: Card 'Creative SB AWE64 PnP'
isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total

sb: 1 Soundblaster PnP card(s) found.
ISAPnP reports AWE64 WaveTable at i/o 0x620

Here are the interrupts:

[root at noname /root]# cat /proc/interrupts

cat /proc/interrupts thinks that the soundblaster is irq = 7 but then 
it looks like the module sb is testing irq=7 and failing.
If you can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it greatly.
The same isapnp.conf worked in 2.2.x  (but it wanted irq=9) so 
something changed from 2.2.x to 2.4.x
