Hi Don,
Actually I had that exact problem on our old computer. Waht you need to do is to
create a modules floppy disk so SuSE can play with your soundblaster drive.
How do you do that?
Well, OK if you also have windows on your machine here is how, this is the way I
did it at least and it worked:
In windows click onthe My computer thing and with the SuSE 6 number one CD
inserted double click on the cdrom icon.
Open the Dos Utils directory, copy the directory called rawrite to your hard
drive.
Now go up a directory level on the CD, you should see a directory called Disks,
open that directory and copy the file called Modules to the rawrite directory
you just put on your hard disk.
Ok, open up the directory called rawrite on your hard disk.
Double click Rawrite3.com
It asks you for the source file name, type modules hit enter
Choose floppy drive a [first] or b [second floppy drive]
insert blank disk and hit enter
After a minute or so, voila a modules disk. Insert that when SuSE 6 wants a
modules disk and choose soundblaster compatible.
Now, is it a fairly new soundblaster drive? I ask because, I couldn't get SuSE 6
to instal over cd with our old, very old soundblaster 16. I caled tech support
and the person I spoke with said that it was really rare but they had
encountered a couple of old drives that wouldn't play with 6. Anyways, just so
you know... I hope this helped, this is my first attempt at fielding a
question...
Cheers!
Dom
