Again i got a problem with setting up my linux in a proper way.
(-btw its linux Slackware-)

I want to install the soundcard/driver.
Its a soundblaster (model ct4170), when i try this
modprobe sb
or modprobe mad16
i only get errors like these
device or resource is busy
i/o or IRQ conflict
What i know about this soundcard, ive read that you have to set the DMA channel to 1. Now i also now that there is a IRQ conflict somewhere. And that the device is busy or that is already used by something else- wich cannot be the case.

So i went looking on google. I found out that to solve the device busy thing i have to change the /etc/lilo.conf
So i opened it and went looking for a line like this pci=reverse. By deleteing this it would beokay. One minor prob there wasnt a line containing pci=reverse.

Im truly desperate here so if anyone can give me a good site on how to change DMA/IRQ/I-O channels it would be appreciated.
Also how do i solve the "device or resource is busy" thing ?
