Yes. I do not like this approach but it is possible. It may also be helpful if you are setting the kernel parameters for the sound first and you would like to attack the PnP mess later: 1) If you configure your PnP board in autoexec.bat / config.sys in DOS, just boot into DOS first. 2) If not, You should boot into win95 in order it configure your PnP board. Anycase, note the IRQs, DMAs that were attributed to your board. 3) Boot to linux now. Either use loadlin, or just use a worm boot (no reset botton, no power botton) like Ctr-Alt-Del. > I'm havin a heck of > a time getting sound support compiled into my kernel, and now I think it > is because its a pnp card. You are probably right. > Funny thing is with deb 1.1 I was able to > config my kernel for sound no problem. Even for your PnP board. It sounds strange for me that Debian 1.1 could manage PnP boards and 1.2 could not. > ahhhhhh I'm just havin' a bad > week, first pon, now my sound...<virtual scream> I feel better now... Note: Last time I did such configurations, it was done over a RedHat installation and I did not start to compile the kernel in my fresh debian installation. I could even start to play some music in linux, hit ctr-alt-del, go to dos, and the music was not interrupt. I could also do the reverse. I was using some patches for the kernel. I will try isapnptools next time in debian. -- Alair Pereira do Lago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.ime.usp.br/~alair> Computer Science Department -- Universidade de S~ao Paulo -- Brazil Received: (qmail 28000 invoked by uid 888); 4 Mar 1997 22:42:50 -0000 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 27998 invoked by uid 888); 4 Mar 1997 22:42:50 -0000 Delivered-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Received: (qmail 27996 invoked from network); 4 Mar 1997 22:42:50 -0000 Received: from golem.pixar.com (138.72.27.59) by master.debian.org with SMTP; 4 Mar 1997 22:42:49 -0000 Received: by golem.pixar.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #2) id m0w22m4-00IdTlC; Tue, 4 Mar 97 14:33 PST Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 4 Mar 97 14:33 PST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Bruce Perens) To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Debian Management Re-Organization Reply-To: Bruce Perens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Debian management is being re-organized. I have added two offices: Daniel Quinlan is Senior Vice President Brian C. White is Vice President of Engineering Administrative matters of the Debian project are delegated to Dan, and engineering decisions are delegated to Brian. Between them they have authority for all day-to-day operations of the project. I will retain the office of President, and I will concentrate on Debian's relationship with other entities and on some large policy planning issues. After a long time in the Debian management, the pressure of the ever-growing project became too much for me. There are also a number of projects that I've put off for too long, and would like to have at least a little time to work on them. Thus, the delegation. These two new positions are currently pro-tempore, but I have no reason to doubt that the board will make them official for a full one year term once the board votes on its own constitution.
