welp, I was trying to avoid it, but I moved the sound card...
first I tried adding acpi=off to the kernel boot line - that did nothing

then I sighed and moved the card.  the results are pretty much the same.  
.rh90 kernel assigns irq 5 to both, .caps.rh90 assigns 11.  the only 
difference is that now, with .rh90 NEITHER eth0 or HDSP card is alive.  
here's detailed output from lspci and cat /proc/interrupts - the ethernet 
card is built in to the mother board...


after moving card, .rh90 kernel:
