If you have an umsdos mulinux, adjust the 'bootme.bat' executable to launch the .exe that configures the sound card first; it will set it up in sb-compatiable mode - the computer will then 'soft boot' into linux without resetting hardware...
From within mu, configure 'setup -f sound' as sb - DMA,IRQ & IO are probably listed somewhere in your autoexec.bat
If you boot via lilo / floppies, can't offer much help other than playing with isapnp - though you can always boot into a full ext2 linux via DOS&Loadlin first (even put it into autoexec.bat if you want :^)
Hope this helped,
