Hi,

I would disable the Plug and Play option for the BIOS and insert the
IRQs manually on the CMOS. I had do that once with a buggy AMI Plug & Play
BIOS.

To configure the gus pnp in the above scenario, generate a config entry 
similar to this:

device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 11 drq 7 flags 0x5 vector gusintr

In other words let the gus pnp sound driver fully configure the gus pnp
for you. 

The config entry:

> > device gus0 at isa? vector gusintr

Tells the gus pnp driver to rely on the BIOS to fill in the appropiate 
values in the gus pnp card ...

	Hope this helps,
	Amancio
