[plug] RH6.2 Kernel problem

[Len Bird]

This really comes back to the problem of getting the installation to succeed.
Most of these problems seem to relate to Creative's
Ensonic 1371 Sound card which is "recognised"  by the kernel
but fails to work! Someone suggested changing the Interupt from 9 which my box
selects to 11 which is used by my S-3 Virge video card.  The HOWTO on Sound
Cards etc says that it is possible to share the same Interupt on PCI bus
devices, but I would be rather wary about sharing with anything as fundamental
as the Video function.  Will some kind and knowledgable subscriber lighten our
darkness"
