hi all,

I am using linux (kernel 1.2.13) slackware 3.0 distribution.
I have a SoundBlaster16 audio card installed on my PC which is
a Pentium 120. The sound card works fine with Win95. I installed
the sources for kernel 1.2.13 and tried to add the sound driver.
I supplied relavant parameters like I/O base address, IRQ, DMA request
channels etc, and successfully compiled the kernel.
When I booted linux again with the new kernel, it does not recognize
the audio card at boot time.
After booting up, I did cat /dev/sndstat, and it told me that the sound
driver was installed. I created the device files using the
shell script provided in Readme.linux in drivers/sound directory of
the linux source tree.
I also tried cat somefile.au > /dev/audio, it comes up saying 'so such
device or address'.

Am I missing something here? I feel I have done everything provided in
the documentation Sound-HOWTO.
