I slowly get the impression that this is card and/or card configuration dependent. I've had the "has to boot dos" problem till end of last year, I beleive. Kernels newer than January this year have always initialized my 1Meg GUS 2.4 properly. Then there was Amancio Hasty's shot at a sound driver that supports vat. This then put my card into the doesn't work state no matter whether I booted DOS first or not. Go figure. -- Michael Elbel, Digital-PCS GmbH, Muenchen, Germany - me@FreeBSD.org Fermentation fault (coors dumped)
