i did the cat /proc/pci step and it returned: "Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq AudioPCI (rev 0). Slow devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=96. Min Gnt=12.Max Lat=12"
i tried to compile in the es1371 driver with sound support into the kernel, but didn't detect my sound card irq. then i compiled in the es1370 driver, dmesg returned: "es1370: version v0.31 time 21:10:51 Jul 15 2000 es1370: found adapter at io 0xfcc0 irq 10 ex1370: features: joystick off, line in, mic impedance 0" but when i tried to check with cat /dev/sndstat it said "cat:/dev/sndstat: no such device" which according to the how-to means the sound driver isn't loaded or linked into the kernel. also theres a strange line at the end of dmesg that says "cat uses obsolete /proc/pci interface" i wonder if that has anything to do with anything. does anyone know how to fix this. and oh im using the kernel-source2.1.15 package currently in the unstable branch of some debian mirror. there is another strange error that when i compile the kernel into a zImage it crashes during bootup when i choose a video mode but compiled into a bzImage the video mode selection works fine. ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
