Very Computer

Linux Redhat 6.2 on a HP Pavilion 8630.  The HP had the following parts
added to the base unit - 128meg RAM [total 256meg], 20gig drive as drive D:,
DFE530TX+ 10/100 network adapter.  The HP came with win98 installed (and
NEEDED for work)

Linux was installed on a windows partition on hda2

Problem Description
================

The when trying to play a .wav file (linux) the system freezes and needs to
be powered down to reset.

Other
====

The sound card is an Vortex Aureal au8810 chipset.  I have loaded the driver
separately.
UNder windows the sound card, the network card and the display adapter
[NVIDI RIVA TNT2 Pro] all use IRQ 11.  I have changed the bios from
"WIN98/WIN2000" to "Other".  The Display adapter and the network card seem
happy (now) to work together but the sound card seems to be upset that other
devices are using its IRQ line.

I am somewhat sure it is a PnP problem.  If anyone knows how to set up the
PnP system on Linux so I can use the sound card I would appreciate it.  I
don't think there are any other options in the BIOS I can tweek.

Here is a list if the PnP devices on the machine:
