Hi, I tried to get sarge work on my Siemens Mobile 501, a laptop with a PII 266, 96MB RAM, 4 GB harddrive, ESS 1869-soundchip and Neomagic NM2160 graphics-chipset.
After some troubles (the sb.o- module of bf24, 2.4.20-686 etc. only accept irq 7) I got the soundchip working, it plays fine with mpg123 at the console. But when I start X while mpg123 playing, the system freezes and can only be resetted by pulling the accu out and plugging the ac/dc-adaptor out. The same thing happens when I use the alsa-modules (which accept also irq 5) and when I try to use XMMS under X. On http://tuxmobil.de/siemens.html someone got this soundchip work on a 510 which seem to be nearly the same notebook. Does someone of you have some ideas or got a similar hardware constellation to work? I only found a user with the same problem after some googling. thanks bjo -- ICQ# 12220433 | http://www.thebjo.net | Was wissen die Armen, denen nie ein Blau aufging am Ziel ihres Herzens oder am Weg ihres Traums in der Nacht.
