I am using a Yamaha EZ-250i keyboard as a midi input device and have the following issues:
System 1. Mandrake 10 - Alsa 1.0.2 on IBM Thinkpad T21.
The keyboard is immediately recognized and I can use it as a midi device. However, when I try to reboot my laptop, ALSA never shuts down and the machine can only be re-booted with the on-off switch. I have tried re-booting with the midi keyboard connected and disconnecting, without any luck, same result. This problem also occurs with my midisport 4x4 device.
Another curious thing is that there is a /dev/snd/midiC0D0 device present at startup even though no midi device is connected. Any attempt to access this device with a program like "rawmidi" will also cause the reboot to hang and the "rawmidi" program will also not exit but had to be killed.
System 2. Suse 9.1 on a Dell desktop
This is a standard install of SUSE 9.1 except for the fact that I have upgraded ALSA to version 1.0.4 in order to get support for the above mentioned Yamaha keyboard. However, the keyboard is not recognized. The message log shows the usb device being identified, but nothing else seems to happen. There is no new entry in the /proc/asound/cards file. What am I missing here?
ps . why does SUSE have all the /dev/snd/midixxxx devices present at boot while Mandrake only creates them when a midi device is connected and removes them again once disconnected (this is how it worked in Mandrake 9)?
Thank a lot O
