I've problems getting my soundcard working with NetBSD 1.5.
With 1.4.2 and the generic-kernel it was detected:

isapnp0: read port 0x203
isapnp0: <TerraTec GOLD 16/96, ESS0000, , > port 0x800/8 not configured
ess0 at isapnp0 port 0x220/16,0x388/4,0x330/2 irq 5 drq 1,0
ess0:: ESS Technology ES1788 [version 0x688b]
ess0: audio1 polled
audio0 at ess0: half duplex
opl0 at ess0: model OPL3
midi1 at opl0: <ESS Yamaha OPL3>



The generic-kernel of 1.5 outputs this:

isapnp0: read port 0x203
isapnp0: <TerraTec GOLD 16/96, ESS0000, , > port 0x800/8 not configured
ess0 at isapnp0 port 0x220/16,0x388/4,0x330/2 irq 5 drq 1,0
ess: can't map SCR access registers
ess0: essmatch failed



Thanks in advance
