Thes sound blaster 16 PnP is an isa-card? If so, did you check the settings
for IO-addr., IRQ, etc. you entered in sound configuration, with the
isapnp-tools (http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/)? What kind of
"undefined stuff" is X complaining about? - Are you sure, it is related to
your sound configuration? - i.e. does the new kernel work after compiling
with sound disabled?
