Subject: i810 audio configuration
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 10:47:14 -0500
I recently upgraded to 2.2.17, and am now trying to get the integrated
audio with my Intel i810 motherboard running. I configured i810_audio
to be loaded as a module and I have AC97 Audio set to 'AUTO' in my BIOS.
When I run 'modprobe i810_audio' I get a whole slew of error messages
about 'AC97 access failed' and 'AC97 write access failed'.
Here is the output from lsmod:
Module Size Used by
i810_audio 10612 0 (unused)
soundcore 2564 2 [i810_audio]
ac97_codec 6852 0 [i810_audio]
agpgart 4040 1 (autoclean)
vfat 9212 1
fat 30144 1 [vfat]
If anyone has had any better luck getting i810 audio working, I sure
would appreciate a shove in the right direction.
TIA,
Ian
P.S. Anyone know how to capture the output from 'printk' messages?

I'm running Mandrake 7.2 on an AMD 750. I don't get any sounds... ever. The
"sound card" I use is the built-in sound chip from the Asus K7V motherboard
(guess which motherboard I use :P) and HardDrake has located the sound
chips but still, no sound. Is there something I'm missing here?

I have a 3cp5610, OEM 2976 model. It works fine under both 2.0.34 and 2.0.36
kernels with setserial command, but not 2.2.16. My conclusion is, the problem
was with things added after 2.0.36.

Subject: XFree86 PCI Device ID confusion on VIA MVP4 based motherboard
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 16:50:46 +0100
Hi all,
I've been trying to get XFree86 up and running on a FIC PAG-2130 motherboard.
It has a VIA MVP4 chipset with a built-in Trident Blade 3D graphics controller.
When starting XFree86 it seems to think that the graphics controller is a
Trident Cyberblade i7 instead. The reason for this is that the PCI Vendor and
Device IDs reported by the system are 0x1023 and 0x8400 - which, according
to drivers/pci/pci.ids - is indeed the Cyberblade i7. The Blade 3D has Device
ID 0x9880, presumably in the standalone version.
So, what am I looking at here? The windows drivers seem to have no problem
accepting the Device ID, so is the Linux side confused, or have Trident and/or
VIA and/or FIC made a boo-boo?
Any suggestions, especially from other people with motherboards with the same
chipset (AOpen MX59 Pro, Epox EP-MVP4 et al) would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mikkel Lauritsen

Hi Ian,
You can look at the printk() messages in the system log file at
/var/log/messages.
Do you need to use isapnp to configure your card before the driver
can talk with it? There are pretty decent instructions in the SOUND
and PNP Howto's. It looks like the module actually got loaded from
the display.

...which is the correct solution, as long as the standard installation
kernels don't support ATA100 controllers directly. You may patch the
kernel with support for ATA100 controllers later on, then move back the

Well, it's more or less plain marketing, anyways. There's no IDE drive
fully exhausting the capacity of ATA66, much less ATA100 . You can
as well safely ignore the ATA100 interface for the time being.

Subject: Re: multiple soundblaster cards?
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 15:50:43 GMT
Thanks for your help.
I have installed a minimal linux onto my computer, and this does not
include support for compiling anything.
But I was able to get both soundblaster cards working, by copying the
original sb.o file as sb2.o.
Then my sound part of /etc/conf.modules is as follows:
...
alias sound1 sb
alias sound2 sb2
pre-install sound1 insmod sound1 dmabuf=1
pre-install sound2 insmod sound2 dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=0 dma16=5 mpu=0x300
options sb2 irq=7 io=0x240 dma=1 dma16=6 mpu=0x330
...
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, making a copy of the sb.o
mod, but I'm able to record/playback from each soundcard independently.
Then I updated /etc/rc.sysinit after the original "modprobe sound"
modprobe sound1
modprobe sound2
So they get both get loaded on boot.
Now, aumix still works fine with first sound card, but how can I control
second?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Well, part of the...challenge...is that there is no sound card. The audio is
actually integrated into the motherboard itself. I checked out
/proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports, and there are entries in both, as well as
/proc/pci.
I'm reading through Shankar Balan's i810 HOWTO
(http://www.exocore.com/linux/i810/). Hopeful there will be some help in
there. And now that I know how to view all the error messages, not just the
last page worth, there may be something to go on there. If not, the SOUND
howto is my next stop.
Thanx again,
Ian

These are 4mb Fast Flash Card's made by Smart. And I put them in the

Jan 2 08:40:04 harmon cardmgr[536]: executing: './memory start mem0'
So cardmgr knows what they are okay, but they don't seem to be seen as a
harddrive by the system. I've used ATA pcmcia cards before and mounted them as
drive space under dos and os/2 without a problem, but these don't seem to be
seen as drive space on a laptop running w98 either.
I tried /dev/hdc and others, it doesn't find any of those (I've got 2 IDE
drives and 1 cdrom), so I looked in /dev and found /dev/mem, mem0a, mem0a0c,
mem0c, mem0c0b, and mem0c0c. So tried an fdisk on mem, it says:
[root@harmon /dev]# fdisk /dev/mem

You can do this from the extra functions menu.
but showed nothing there when I did "p" to print the partition table.
There should be, since these were formerly in a Cisco router and contain
the Cisco IOS and configs. So then I tried to fdisk /dev/mem0a -- much better,
now I get:

Cool! So I can see it as drive space. Now all I have to do is figure
out what sectors to set, repartition it, and away we go.
Anybody ever do this before? Any idea what sectors to set?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 17:38:38 GMT
LILO release 21.6.1 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.
Version 21.6.1 is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor problems.
Version 21.6 is an upgrade for users of the Reiser File System, and adds
new diagnostic capabilities. Internal changes allow booting kernels with
larger real-mode setup codes (2.4.0 and later). This version is fully
backward compatible with version 21.5, which added the customizable boot
menu interface, and versions back to 21.2, which allowed booting beyond
the 1024 cylinder limit on disks >8Gb.
Source code is available for download from:
ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo (developer's site)
Or from the main distribution site:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo (please use)

So you are unable to open 08:02 which is /dev/sda2 where I suppose that
your root partition lives? Reading at the detection of disks we can see
that booth disks (id 1 and id3) are detected as "SCSI disk sda". This is
not good, one of them should probably be sda and the other sdb.
I'm not familiar with Linux on sparc, but I think I recall something
about old sparc machines having SCSI ID 3 becoming SCSI ID 0 which they
were supposed to boot from. Maybe this is giving you some trouble now?
If so, you could try to give the new seagate SCSI ID 4 instead of SCSI
ID 3.

Subject: HELP!!! Can't install RH 6.2!
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 12:28:50 -0600
Well, I'm finally going to do it: I'm going to install Red Hat Linux 6.2
on my wife's computer that has been running Windows 3.1! It's a
486DX2/80 on a PC Chips motherboard and has a 3Com 3C515 ISA 10/100 NIC,
as well as the usual floppy and CD-ROM.
Actually, I would have already installed RHL6.2 except for install
problems. HELP!!!
I have another computer in the house on which I have already installed
RHL6.2, an Athlon 650 on a GA-7IX. I had burnt a CD-R with RHL6.2 and
made a boot floppy and installed in on the Athlon machine as well as
some computers at UT Austin, so I've been through the process more than
once.
When trying to do the CD-ROM install on the 486, I boot from the floppy
and at the boot: prompt type, "expert <enter>." I then see the normal
messages for loading initrd.img and vmlinuz and uncompressing Linux and
see a normal boot.
I also see the normal screens about inserting one's driver disk (to
which one makes the response "cancel"), selecting language and keyboard,
and choosing the media on which to find the OS. When I see the second
screen about special device drivers, I answer, "Done," and let the
computer work away.
The problem is that I have never gotten any further. Most recently I get
the message that the install exited abnormally - recieved [sic] signal
7. Yesterday, I got some error about reading headers with a negative
error number (which had about 10 digits, starting with a 2).
So, I thought, "OK, I've got CD-ROM problems." I then booted Win3.1 and
was able to read the CD-ROM OK. "Hmmm ...," thought I, "let's do a net
install."
I then made up a net install boot floppy, mounted the CD-ROM on the
Athlon machine and turned on its FTP.
Booting went just fine until I selected the media (FTP). I then got the
error message: /tmp/3c515.o: init module: Device or resource busy.
I then booted Win3.1 and, using the FTP client supplied with the MS 32
bit TCP/IP package, was able to successfully FTP to the Athlon machine.
So what's wrong? HELP!!!

Maybe, maybe not. AMD recommends a 300 watt power supply be used with
Athlons so the power the cpu gets is clean enough. Leadman,
