To find what resources are being used:
cat /proc/interrupts (for the irq assignments)
cat /proc/ioports (for the io port usage)
isapnp should not be an issue.
For the "device busy", make sure any original sound related
entries are gone, so you only have the new alsa entries.
Your /etc/modules.conf should look something like this:
# ALSA Section
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k
and if you want the OSS compatibilty:
# OSS/Free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
It might help to try doing a "depmod -a" before the modprobe.
If you have a mixer open, or anything sound related in use when you try
to do the modprobe, you'll get "device busy"
If you want to send me an:
lsmod
copy of your /etc/modules.conf
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
I'll see if I can see anything that might be a show stopper.
