Hey all , 
  I just installed Linux (Slakware Ver) and am having some 
trouble with my SoundBlaster 16 . When I boot with the Boot and 
Root image disks , using the boot image that is compiled for the 
SB 16 , it probes for it nad finds it but then it tells me that 
the address 0x230 is busy and stops probing. I can mount the 
CD after , though I can't install from CD I have to copy all the 
disk sets to my HD and install from there. Once I have completed 
the install and make my LILO disk ( I boot from Floppy) and 
reboot Linux comes up fine but during boot it tells me that the
sbpcd is not a block device and doesn't initialize it then it 
bombs out trying to check for a CD. I have followed the steps 
in the Cd Howto but I get the same results. Having access to the 
Cd is pretty important since I have the WGS distribution with the 
4 cds and I'd Like to be able to access them.
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance .
  Doug
