Q2.4*: I installed ISA PnP tools, but still awedrv says "can't detect
AWE32".

Check WaveTable entries in your /etc/isapnp.conf file. AWE32 uses
three I/O ports, normally 0x620, 0xa20, and 0xe20, but in the default
ouput from pnpdump is lack of the last two pots (0xa20 and 0xe20). In
such a case, you have to add them manually. For example,

# Logical device id CTL0021
(CONFIGURE CTL0044/962642 (LD 2
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
(ACT Y)
))

See the ISA PnP FAQ page (
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/isapnpfaq.html ) for
details.
