Nope.  /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 are both on the es1370.  /dev/dsp2 is the
sb-16

It read about 128 bytes form this file.  I originally thought it didn't
read anything

I have all ide disabled in bios.  I had a nic on 14 and one on 15 w/o
problems.  but this was with 2.2.13 and I had no problems with that kernel.

alan cox suggested using noapic when booting.  I'll try that, but I'm going
to be disabling the usb since this system's usb hardware is junk.
