No blinking. The red led is on without a pause. This is so strange. The card is there enough for snd-hdsp to load but after that it's blocked. What could be blocking the fw load process and apps from using the card for I/O if the fw is loaded in windows? I really would love to know how to debug this. How could I try to seek the exact place where the communication breaks down? So far, I've compiled kernels (2.4.20, 2.4.19) trying out a few configurations (pcmcia in kernel and outside, acpi and no acpi irq's from bios or directly, just hoping to get lucky :-) but nothing. Everything looks the same as with rhl's 2.4.18. (Except that external pcmcia couldn't make a connection to the card for snd-hdsp to load.) [What about interrupts? They don't matter here, do they? In linux the pcmcia controller shares irq 11 with eth0. In winXP it gets irq 10 and shares it with something else I don't remember. I hope they aren't significant because I don't think I know how to change them (no bios options available).] -- Jaakko Prättälä [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
