I'm having some trouble with the pnp audio drivers. According to the
README file, 2.2.x systems older than 2.2.5-RELEASE require the
patches in patches.22x to be applied. However, these patches fail on
my system (2.2.1-RELEASE). The patch expects /sys/i386/isa/isa.c to
have the following CVS ID:
$Id: isa.c,v 1.74.2.3 1997/10/12 16:07:42 jkh Exp $
which obviously isn't the case on a 2.2.1R system since 2.2.1R came
out in march/april (AFAIR) 1997. isa.c on my system has the following
ID:
$Id: isa.c,v 1.74.2.1 1997/02/13 07:20:42 bde Exp $
The README file claims that the pnp audio drivers have been tested on
2.2.1 - obviously they have not been tested on a vanilla 2.2.1 system.
Is there a patch for 2.2.1R available somewhere? Upgrading to 2.2.2R
is not an option. I have the CD, but I don't have the possibility to
do a full backup, without which I don't want to attempt an upgrade.
Alternatively, I can manage without the pnp audio drivers if I can
make my SB16 PnP work by configuring it manually. I tried the
following:
config> pnp 1 0 enable os irq0 5 drq0 1 port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388
config> pnp 1 1 enable os drq0 5
which should set the SB16 to IRQ 5, DRQ 1 and 5 (based mostly on
guesswork and pnpinfo)
My kernel is configured to find an SB16 card at port 0x220, IRQ 5, low
DRQ 1, high DRQ 5. It has worked properly with these settings with an
SB32 earlier; at that time I used a DOS utility to configure the card.
The problems I am experienceing now are DMA timeouts. The audio
drivers detect the card properly, but playback does not work and
generates console messages to the tune of "DMA timeout, IRQ/DRQ config
error?". The card is brand new; I haven't tested it on another
machine or OS, though I assume that it works.
When I run pnpinfo, it properly reports the settings I have selected,
although it seems to drop the high byte on the port numbers. I assume
this is a bug in pnpinfo since 'ls' at the kernel configuration prompt
reports them properly.
By the way, I'd like the pnp driver to report the settings of pnp
devices which are manually configured (or if possible, of all pnp
devices detected) instead of just reporting "override config for CSN
%d LDN %d vend_id 0x%08x". Would that be possible? Yes, I *can* be
bothered to try and do it myself and submit a patch for it :)
