Goodday
All, Please I pray
and hope anyone and I mean anyone can end up helping me resolve my problem.Do
take time to read this, cause it's littered with a newbie request structure. I
just acquired my Mandrake 6.1, having dumped my old Slackware 2.0 version.
Hoping that the device configuration problem I hadwith
my slackware would have been corrected, and the manufacturers helped out
in supplying all necessary tools to support this wonderful operating system. Before
I get carried away, my problem is this. 1.
I can't seem to be able to configure my sound card to work with my motherboard(System
Specifications at end), I am using a
CM8738 Sound Card, which, ChenLi Tien, designed the driver that should
work with the Linux Box, but I have compiled the
kernel and reinstalled, yet, everything is the same, a probe with cat /dev/sndstart,
produces the error "No such directory", which
from the documentation states that the device is not in the kernel or is
not installed.
I have followed all the steps to recompile the kernel, still I am getting
nowhere, I don't know if I am doin something wrong, If I am,
please let someone take his/her time to clearly outline the steps again
not missing a pin, I would be most grateful. 2.
I can't get my modem to work too. As described by the ChenLi Tien
CM8738 driver, I am supposed to compile the "pctel.o"
module, that, I can't find anywhere, I have gone to websites to attempt
downloading the file but to no avail, and it isnt included in
my distribution or the device driver accompanying the motherboard. I
really need HELP!, as i can't even browse the net, I have battled with
this for a week and in my last desperate attempt, gone to acyber
cafe, paid their exhorbitant amount to send this SOS, anyone who has enough
knowledge as to my problem or has my samesystem
specification should please give me a detailed account as to how he/she
setup all the devices. I really am down, and need serious assistance
urgently. I have completely
tried every IRQ and I/O port I can lay my hands on but with no success. Of
course, I know the last option maybe to by a Sound Blaster for the sound
fix and an external modem and an extra com port for it, but till then I
hope someone out there has the solution. Thank
