No idea...

Hi, I have an Alpha XL 266, running a fairly current unstable release of debian. I recently tried to compile 2.6.5 stable. The machine has an ISA sound card, which has sticker on it which says it's a SoundBlaster AWE32 PnP, though the isapnp tools do not detect any boards at all. I enabled the PNP BIOS options and the damn thing errored out during compile.

all through the compile process I kept seeing shit like

LD drivers/net/tulip/built-in.o

no idea what that's about, but I wouldn't have cared if some time later the thing hadn't errored out all together.

don't know wtf this is all about...but i'd sure like to use my sound card at some point...
