problem configuring sb16 and alsa

[Kerry Hoath]

If the board is a PCI board, then it will default
to setting irqs to PCI/ISAPNP which isn't what you want.
You want irq5 on legacy isa. If Alsa can't trigger
and detect an interrupt it won't find the sb16.
Dos may work because unlike Linux it doesn't attempt to reconfigure bios32 and
ESCD/PCI space. Just a thought.
