That does look like a conflict.  Did you try running "sndconfig" to 
see if you could change some of the settings?  Once I had everything 
installed and the kernel compiled for the Thinkpad 380xd I had to 
adjust the settings that were being used until the darn thing played 
me a sound.  

For space sake I removed the quote of your second results, but I am 
not sure what to tell you there.  What did you do differently?

The above error looks like a setting conflict - if you were to adjust 
the sndconfig settings (/usr/sbin/sndconfig in Mandrake) you may be 
able to get it working.  Might be the settings.

Try running sndconfig if you haven't already and select the Crystal 
cs423x Sound Card, then configure your settings to these:

i/o port = 0x530
irq = 5
dma = 1
dma2 = 0
mpu i/o = 330
mpu irq = 9

If they are already set to that then I'll see if I can help you dig 
for more answers! 

Let me know how that goes!
