Since I bought this notebook everything on my RH 5.1 works ok but I was
never able to make the ESS Maestro 1 soundcard work correctly. I compiled
this stuff as modules in my 2.2.4 kernel:

but when I try do to 'cat /dev/sndstat' I get 'Operation not supported by
device'. Don't know what to insert in my /etc/conf.modules and more, I also
got installed the pciutils...
[root@durin /root]# rpm -qa | grep pci
pciutils-1.10-1
[root@durin /root]# rpm -ql pciutils
/etc/pci.ids
/sbin/lspci
/sbin/setpci
/usr/man/man8/lspci.8
/usr/man/man8/setpci.8
but at boot-time I get "lspci not found so resource conflicts not checked.".
My isapnptools package is quite old, maybe, isapnptools-1.17-1, but I also
tried to rebuild a 1-18-1 version from tar.gz sources, following someone's
directions (I knew this version was designed for RH 5.2, wasn't it?) but had
a lot of problems at boot-time on reading /var/run/utmp (?? very strange,
indeed...) so I immediately downgraded back to 1-17. This is bizarre...
didn't find across the whole /etc/rc.d directory any call to lspci... it
just tries to determine PCI devices in the rc.sysinit script:
###
if grep -i nopnp /proc/cmdline >/dev/null ; then
PNP=
else
PNP=yes
fi
# set up pnp
if [ -x /sbin/isapnp -a -f /etc/isapnp.conf ]; then
if [ -n "$PNP" ]; then
echo "Setting up ISA PNP devices"
/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
else
echo "Skipping ISA PNP configuration at users request"
fi
fi
###
any hint? TIA.
