I am new to Sound Card stuff on redhat, so bear with me on this one.
I am trying to compile sound support into the 2.0.30 kernel of my
Redhat 4.2 machine. The compile steps I used:
make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig (specified IRQ 5, DMA 1,5, I/O 220)
make dep
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
/etc/lilo (keep both my working and new kernel)
depmod -a 2.0.30
Upon reboot, I can boot into either the new kernel or my original
kernel at 'LILO' prompt.
However, when I boot into the new kernel I just compiled, and issue
the command: "insmod sound", it gaves me error:
sb: interrupt IRQ7 failed, device disabled
So, Why it says "IRQ7 failed" while I am very sure that I configured
with "IRQ 5"?
While we are on this topic, I would like to ask two more questions:
- The machine is a Dell Dimension 233P, with integrated sound plus
AWE32. claims to be SB16 compatible. Sound experts, has anyone
had experience with this one? Oh, I haven't try utilities like
'isapnptools' or 'loadlin', shall I give it a try?
- Under dos/win95, the sound setting in 'autoexec.bat' is:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
Can someone tell me what does each parameter mean?
Thanks a lot for your help.
