Alternatively, if it's ISAPnP, you may need to use pnpdump & isapnp to set
it up on boot.
My old SB16 vibra was like that - I just ran pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf,
edited it and uncommented the "ACT Y" and ran isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf on
boot.

The docs say if you use isapnp you have to compile sound support as a
module, and run isapnp before loading the module, but I found compiling
sound into the kernel worked fine - I just got the message Oliver's
getting until I initialised the soundcard with isapnp.
