Hello back again guys,
I don't know is this thread interest anymore to the list... I leave it up to
you to post replies in the list or to keep chating in private.
You were right... I had PnP support configured in my kernel... And so, I
tried to change my BIOS to use PnP.
Now I have a more nice message in /var/log/messages:
root@petit:/home/pep > tail -30 /var/log/messages | grep opl
Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: No PnP cards found
Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: Search for a card at 0x1336.

Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: Found OPL3-SA3 (YMF715E or YMF719E)
Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x538 not free
Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of
the ISA PNP cards, continuing
Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x538 not free

So, I think I'll keep using PnP config.
But there are again some questions:
1. Why do I get the first line "Nov 7 09:29:01 petit kernel: opl3sa2: No PnP
cards found" ?
2. And what about the messages "opl3sa2:Control I/O port 0x538 not free" and
"opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing" ?
3. Should I activate START_ISAPNP in my /etc/rc.config now???
4. What should I put in my /etc/modules.conf??? So far I had all address
parameters hardcoded... but now they are discovered by PnP... so what should
I put in it???
5. For the moment Pnp support in compiled in the kernel. Is there anything
that stops me from compiling it as a module?
