I too had a problem on two machines dying at the adlib sound card message.
One was an AST 486 with all of the standard I/O on the mother board plus a
novell ne2000 card. The other was a no-name black box 40 mhz 386 with an
adaptec scsi card and a _novell_ne200_card_. NONE of the adresses or irq's
appeared to conflict. I solved my problem by changeing the novell card to
use 300h and irq5, (supposedly a non-standard setting, but it works).
The troubleshooting was vexing..different kernels..6 mchines...differnent
versions...screw with the hardware jumpers...sleep at last!
