Riptide audio chipset
Hi all does anybody know if there is a kernel sound module which supports the rockwell riptide chipset (PCI sound/modem combo) or if such thing is in development ? If not, has somebody any idea how to get the soundblster emulation to work with linux ? I just tried activating the emulation with a dos tool and then load linux with loadlin. The following happens depending on the bios setting :enable PnP Operating system - enabled : the kernel module recognizes a soundblaster card but complains about a failed interrupt test. - disabled : the kernel still recognizes a soundblaster, but it freezes almost immediate Thanks

I turned off the cache. It started remarkable slow, but better than nothing. Then I compiled as first thing a new kernel zImage, ran LILO, turned the cache back on - done. Matth

My old Thinkpad (380XD) hibernates perfectly with Linux. All you do is boot DOS from /dev/hda1 and run "ps2 hibernate C:" (or whatever the command is), then it just works. Of course /dev/hda1 has to be big enough to have a file the size of RAM + 4M...

IBM Credit Card Adapter and Toshiba
I just upgraded to 2.2.13 kernel and potato Debian. I can't get my IBM Credit Card adapter (NIC) to work. I am using a Toshiba 4000CDT. I show RX activity in ifconfig but no TX activity. Any hiints would be appreciated. Anyone using a similar setup (esp. the card). The card is getting detected at boot up as an NE2000 compatible at IRQ3 Add:0x300 It is a PCMICA card. TIA John J. Neff
