Ian, <blush> Of course, your problem was with the loadable kernel module... so much for "think first, post later..."</blush>
Anyway, here is the answer you want. From the 1.2.13 README.sbpcd in the "drivers" directory... ============================================================================= Using sbpcd as a "loadable module": ----------------------------------- If you do NOT select "Matsushita/Panasonic CDROM driver support" during the "make config" of your kernel, you can build the "loadable module" sbpcd.o. Read /usr/src/linux/README.modules on this. If sbpcd gets used as a module, the support of more than one interface card (i.e. drives 4...15) is disabled. You can specify interface address and type with the "insmod" command like: # insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x340,0 or # insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1 where the last number represents the SBPRO setting (no strings allowed here). ============================================================================= Note the number coming after the address argument is defined in sbpcd.h... for a soundblaster, as it says, the value should be one. Lastly, I presume (but have not tried) using arguments in the /etc/modules file. If it won't take them, it should only be a bit of tweaking to get it to go. It *should* allow the modules to take arguments... -Andrew. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
