Soundcard SB128PCI + Kernel 2.2.7 = HOWTO?

Hi!

I have problems in getting my soundcard SB128PCI running under
a 2.2.7 Kernel (SuSE 6.1 system). I have made a kernel with
support for my soundcard (Ensoniq AudioPCI (rev. 01) with an
ES1370, I suppose). I can activate the "sound" module:

>modprobe sound
>lsmod
Module Size Used by
sound 59000 0
soundlow 304 0 [sound]
soundcore 2788 3 [sound]

But I cannot activate the "sb" module:

>modprobe sb
/lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/sb.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/sb.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/sb.o: insmod sb failed

The message file gives another hint:

May 7 16:34:00 rzpc kernel: Soundblaster audio driver ...
May 7 16:34:00 rzpc kernel: sb: dsp reset failed.

I guess (hope) it's just a problem of proper setting
the "I/O, IRQ, and DMA" parameters for the module. But
how do I find them? I don't have a windows system
installed and really wouldn't like to install one
just to find the parameters! The default setting
for a SB in /etc/conf.modules is:

options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

This apparently does not work. During bootup I see
irq being 11 for the soundcard. Is this, what I have
to enter here? What about the remaining parameters?

Thanks,

Ruben

PS. I have checked /proc/interrupts, /proc/ioports
and /proc/dma but cannot find my soundcard
there. Also pnpdump does not find anything use-
full since the soundcard is PCI based.
