You dont need to use isapnp to initialize AWE64. Just turn off pnp support in BIOS, and if you compile the support for it into kernel use values:
<*> OSS sound modules (NEW) [...] <*> 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support (NEW) (5) Sound Blaster IRQ Check from manual of the card (NEW) (1) Sound Blaster DMA 0, 1 or 3 (NEW) (5) Sound Blaster 16 bit DMA (SB16, Jazz16, SMW) 5, 6 or 7 (use 1 for 8 ... (330) MPU401 I/O base of SB16, Jazz16 and ES1688 ...
