Where to begin. I wanted to compile a custom kernel to get sound support and set up a firewall so I could run natd to share my internet connection. I failed miserably on both counts. I have an AWE64 and a sound image, which is based on the AD1816 chipset from Analog Devices. Both are ISA PnP. I added the line device pcm to my kernel, and ran sh MAKEDEV snd0. Now when I boot up instead of it finding my sound card and allocating it resources as UNKNOWN, it makes it snd0, which would appear to be right. However, I can't get any sound. xmms will give me scratchy staticy noises if I try to play an MP3, but that's about it. I tried both the soundcards and got the same results regardless of which one I had installed. Any ideas? Now, for the firewall thing, I commented out the NICs I don't have, and just left ed0 and xl, because on boot up with the GENERIC kernel it lists my NICs as ed0 and xl0. Problem is, it gives me an error that it can't find the directory if I don't comment out xl. So, if I use my custom kernel, I only have one NIC, which isn't ideal for forwarding packets :) Also, it lists ed0 as being an ISA card, but both my NICs are PCI, should that matter?
