HI, Not sure if "kernel" is the correct category, but it is related to the sound card driver. After doing an "upgrade" install of pinstripe, my soundcard fails to initialise. I get IO Port conflicts, and dmesg says the usual about port 0xYYY in use etc, there are no special messages. My soundcard is an Ensoniq AudioPCI, and I use the ES1370 driver. This was working fine in my previous config (zoot), and might be unrelated to Pinstripe, however, I saw the problem during the first boot since pinstripe was upgraded, so I suspect it is.
Please attach the exact error text and a copy of /proc/pci Alan
Hey Alan, As discussed on IRC...

Hope this helps! :-)
Could you try the kernel packages temporarily at ftp://people.redhat.com/johnsonm/testkernels/ and see if they fix the problem?
Excellent work guys, thank you very much. This kernel provided fixes the problem. No errors, and it appears to work fine. Thanks to all involved!!! Keep up the good work! :-)
Ok, looks like it was a false good alarm. I rebooted and the same problem is back. :-(
