SB 5.1 driver doesn't load, kernel 2.4.14

SB 5.1 driver doesn't load, kernel 2.4.14

Linuxers:

I can't seem to get my drivers to load for an SB 5.1 on a 2.4.14 kernel.  
Boot message shows:

Creative EMU10K1 PCI Audio Driver, version 0.16, 19:44:30 Jan 17 2002
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0c.0
emu10k1: EMU10K1 rev 7 model 0x8061 found, IO at 0xdc00-0xdc1f, IRQ 9
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x8384:0x7608 (SigmaTel STAC9708)

It does not show the Sound initialization started and completed messages
that the Sound-HOWTo says I should see.  If I "cat /dev/sndstat," I get "No
such device"

I've compiled the driver into the kernel and as a separate module.  If I
run sndconfig, it tells me it can;t run because soundcore.o is not in the
module path.

I had hoped this would be real straight forward, but...

Any ideas?

Ralph

Go to the news server:  news.soundblaster.com or
http://opensource.creative.com

The news server has a group dedicated to Linux drivers.  I'm sure that
someone can help you out with making the drivers and getting it to work.

I don't really understand what you are trying to do. If you just bought a
sound card, install it and let your distribution setup program configure
it for you. What's all this with kernel compiles?

Anyway, the sndstat device is long obsolete (and so is the HOWTO you have
read). You sound drivers load just fine. Again, I fail to see what your
problem is.
