HAH!  Success!

Here's the magic incantations on a Compaq Armada 1700, ess1869 chipset, 
and 2.6.21 kernel:

boot with noapic acpi=off pci=biosirq

acpi *must* be enabled in the bios, and disabled with a kernel 
parameter, otherwise the cooling fan will not work.

edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound to read:

alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx
options snd-es18xx index=0 enable=1 port=0x220 fm_port=0x388 
mpu_port=0x300 irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1

*DO NOT* use the isapnp=0 parameter.  This will cause insmod to fail.

Strangely, alsaplayer will not work, but xmms works just fine.

Linux stuff has made big progress over the competition. When things sit and don't start right away, we have a watch, and those poor guys have to settle for an hourglass.
