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:
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 It appears this file is quite out of date since it instructed me to use the "controller" keyword rather than "device".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.
