Thanks, it worked! I can now listen to Enigma to my heart's content. I
guess I did have a broken kernel source.
I wonder if anyone else has seen the following issue/problem with HP
Pavilion PCs. In case others have had similar problems, I hope the
following will be useful to them:
By default, the BIOS's settings for "PnP OS" are set to "Windows
95/98/ME". So that they won't detect your network card or sound card in
Linux. You have to set the "PnP OS" setting to "Other" to enable linux
style IRQ sharing for PCI devices. After that my network card worked,
apart from a 'minor' problem about finding the right drivers (use
rtl8139).
However, even after this the soundcard is still not detected, its
IRQ setting is 0 (clashes with timer). So I have to set the irq manually.
The snd-card-intel8x0 module don't seem to take an irq setting as an
option, so I have to set it beforehand using the "lostirq" module. And its
a pain that everytime I reboot, I have to go through /proc/interrupts to
find the right IRQ. If anybody knows a better way of handling these
things, please let me know.
Thanks Again, Frans...
