(Perhaps a separate 'help' alias would be good?) I've been working on making my Sound Galaxy Washington working. I've gotten the SBPro part working, but not the MSS/WSS part. Here's the relevant part of /var/log/kernel after enabling DEB and DDB: --begin /var/log/kernel-- Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: Entered probe_ms_sound(530, 0) Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: MSS signature = 4 Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: ad1848_detect(534) Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: ad1848_detect() - step A Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: ad1848 detect error - step A (ff) Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: sb_dsp_detect(220) entered Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: SB 3.1 detected OK (220) Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: sb_dsp_init(220) entered Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: This is a genuine SB Pro Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: IRQ test OK (IRQ5) Nov 3 20:17:10 belle kernel: Will use SB Pro driver --end /var/log/kernel-- The section of code that has the error is here, in the function ad1848_detect: --begin ad1848.c-- /* * Check that the I/O address is in use. * * The bit 0x80 of the base I/O port is known to be 0 after the * chip has performed its power on initialization. Just assume * this has happened before the OS is starting. * * If the I/O address is unused, it typically returns 0xff. */ DDB (printk ("ad1848_detect() - step A\n")); if ((inb (devc->base) & 0x80) != 0x00) /* Not a AD1848 */ { DDB (printk ("ad1848 detect error - step A (%02x)\n", inb (devc->base))); return 0; } --end ad1848.c-- I boot into DOS before using loadlin to get to Linux -- this is my AUTOEXEC.BAT file. --begin AUTOEXEC.BAT-- @ECHO OFF PROMPT $P$G SET SOUND=A:\ SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 SET GALAXY=A220 I5 D1 P530 K11 T6 VOLSET /V:14 /X:14 /F:14 /C:14 /L:14 /M:14 /R:L HWSET /SBA:220 /SBDMA:1 /MSSA:530 /SBIRQ:5 /GPA:E /MSS:E AZCAL ECHO Type L to boot Linux --end AUTOEXEC.BAT-- The programs I got off Aztech's web site, and there seems to be no way to set the MSS IRQ on the DOS end. I've tried setting 7,9,10,11 on the Linux side -- all the choices -- no dice. Help?
