I upgraded to the 2.1.0-RELEASE kernel. I started with my 2.0.5 kernel config file, and merged in any differences I found with the new 2.1 files (none to speak of, really). Built a new kernel, and rebooted. My sbmidi0 device no longer was found. Yes, I had the address set correctly, both in the kernel config file, and the sound_config.h file. Didn't really irk me, since I don't use midi. But, "a while" later (not really sure... and a computer reboot or two may have taken place during this time), suddenly my kernel recognized the sbmidi0 device. But it printed the kernel message oddly: sbmidi0 at 0x300 on isa <SoundBlaster MPU-401> My 2.0.5 kernel, aside from *always* succesfully detecting sbmidi0, printed: sbmidi0 at 0x300 on isa sbmidi0: <SoundBlaster MPU-401> (note the "sbmidi0:" before the "<SoundBlaster..." Fix: I dunno. Use the system a bit, maybe reboot a couple times, and *boom!* it reappears, just like magic. How-To-Repeat: Build a new kernel, reboot, and watch the fun.
