I would think that the problem is Soundblaster related. Try getting to a more minimal environment to start. Take out references to the cd rom and mouse if you have them. See if that works. If not, we'll have to find a place in memory or an interrupt that makes the SB happy. Going back in my head +15 years, I seem to remember that you could sometimes share i7- since we are using it more aggressively with the ZVG - it might not work. Feel free to e-mail me directly to work on it.

Thanks,
