I configure a Sound Blaster 16 PnP under Linux RH5.2, Kernel 2.2, Gnome
1.0
I use isapnp to select interrupts, dma and all
The SB kernel module is loaded according to conf.modules
Everything OK except no sound. The card doesn't seem to have a 16 bit
DMA.
/proc/sound shows Sound blaster 16 4.16, but no drivers and no card
config.
Anyone has an idea ??
conf.modules and isapnp.conf attached

Subject: Re: DPT 2044W vs. 2044UW
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 15:56:34 GMT
Andreas,
Yup, been there, done that... Let me guess, you are using the EATA-DMA
driver in the 2.0x kernels to drive your DPT 2044UW HBA...
Some things I found out...
1) In the DPT Setup utility, set the SCSI XFER rate to 10Mhz - problem
should go away.
2) Put it back to 20Mhz and the problems reappear.
3) Change cables, drives, terminations, and anything else you can
think of and the problem
is still there (as long as you run at 20Mhz and use the EATA-DMA
driver).
Conclusion: either the EATA-DMA driver is bad, or the 2044UW design is
bad...
What I did:
1) Upgraded my kernel to 2.2.3 (had to upgrade other things also)
2) Use the Generic EATA driver (funny, the EATA-DMA driver is
considered "obsolete" in the
2.2.x kernels...;-)
I've been running with a SCSI XFER rate of 20Mhz for about a month now,
and haven't had any problems, but then again, I haven't really loaded
the system heavily...
Your mileage most certainly will vary...;-)

Yeah, I haven't done this for a year or so, so this is from (a very bad) memory!
I tore my hair out over this problem, until forcing it to different IRQ. I think I
stuck it down on 4 or 5, but it's very picky about what it
will use.
I do seem to remember 14 as the correct card ID, but try *not* compiling the rest of
the drivers you've got enabled below - it might
possibly confuse things.
Good luck!

There are about a dozen different versions of the Vibra-16, each with
their own special quirks. I seem to have the lamest Vibra-16 of them

Hello,
I have an HP 360LX Palmtop and was wondering
if anyone had dug up any synch protocol information
on it. I'm sure someone has found the protocol???
I'd write the software to do mailbox/sched synch with the palmtop's
version of outlook, however i just don't know what to send over the serial
line.
Any insight appreciated.

Date: 30 Mar 1999 04:53:17 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
You need to recompile the kernel to get the scsi generic
support; it does work, but you must be careful to choose
the following settings:
1. No IDE/ATAPI cdrom support
2. SCSI cdrom support compiled into the kernel (no module)
3. SCSI generic support compile into the kernel (no module)
This will change the device special files you will use to
access the ide cdrom devices; no longer will they be /dev/hd(x),
but /dev/scd(x). Change any /dev/cdrom symlink to reflect this.
When you run cdrecord, pass the -scanbus flag to determine
which scsibus/device your burner/reader are on; this will likely
be 0,0 and 0,1 although which is which I cannot say from the info
in your post. I used to use Xcdroast; I think it will tell you this
in a straightforward way.
I have done this successfully with three different makes of burner:
HP, Mitsumi, and Memorex. Sorry, I can't remember the model numbers,
but the HP and Mitsumi are newer devices, less than six months old.
I don't know about the Panasonic.
Hope this helps.
