I'm attempting to build a custom kernel for my PC which will include =
support for my sound card and it is failing during the "make" step.
I'm using 4.3-RELEASE on my system (just installed from CD created from =
the ISO image). My sound card is an SoundBlaster 64AWE ISA card.
The current sound card entries in my config file are: =20
device sb0
device awe0
I think I must be missing something - or not understanding something. I =
have read and re-read the audio discriptions in the LINT file but can't =
find any direct reference to my card though there are references to =
other SoundBlaster cards. Can you please let me know what I entries I =
should have? Just for your into, the LINT file directed me to =
/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc for a further reference. It appears =
this file is quite out of date since it instructed me to use the =
"controller" keyword rather than "device". Unfortunately, this file =
wasn't much help.
Also, although my sound card is PnP, my BIOS is set for a non-PnP =
operating system. I'm assuming that FreeBSD is not considered to be a =
PnP OS? Is this a valid assumption?
Thanks very much for your help.
Phil.
