Hi, I recently gained a BIOS upgrade which would allow me to upgrade M$ NT4.0 to Win2k - Yes I know! - but I have to use it for some things. I also wanted to install a USB printer.
I installed kernel 2.4.17-686 but, initially, forgot about checking the modules and lsot use of my Cardbus NIC - all working well now. Which brings me to a confession. I ahve had the 5150 for 3 years and have yet to get the sound to work! I don't use it much but... The card is an ISA Ess 1879. The BIOS sets the following: irq 5 io 0x240,0x388 dma 1 and 3 These show up in win98/2K Hardware Configuration. I have soundcore and sound modules loaded but every attempt to load the sb module fails. most recently it reports "too many irq"! I only set the one. Looking in the sb.o module I see that it only allows dma16 to be 5,6,7 - could this be the problem? I guess I could get the BIOS to change the DMA but am not sure what effect that would have. The PNP O/S setting in the BIOS is set to NO. Any suggstions would be welcome. Now if only I can get mu UDMA drive to use DMA...:) TIA, Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
