I've installed the awedrv-0.4.2d patch on the 2.0.35 kernel on RH5.1.
( + make menuconfig, make dep, make clean, make zImage, make zlilo, cp of kernel in /boot, reconfig of /etc/lilo.conf, done "insmod awedrv" after reboot, modified the isapnp.conf as Tim Wright's tips )
Everything seems ok ( under kde ), but my card doesn't produce any sound !!!
I used drvmidi, playmidi or the midi player of KDE ( kmidi )...
It's very bizarre : under the shell, it says that there is no device to use /dev/sequencer, but under kde, it seems ok, but produce no sound !
I have 0k on my AWE32PnP, but want to use the waves stored in ROM...
What have I forgotten ?

Objet: [linux-awe] installation on RH-5.1
Hello.
I was surprised at the sudden flood of this ml, and even at the
popularity of HTMLed mail :-)
Some of you might have wondered whether I'm still alive or not.
Yes, I'm even now looking at the awedrv's source code sometimes, but
the development is vveerryy slow.
Anyway, let us talk about the installation problem on RH-5.1.
Historically I have confirmed the installation on RH-5.0 in the
following situations.
1. Installation on RH-5.0 using install-rh.sh:
The RH-5.0 system has the modulized sound drivers like the recent
2.1.x kernel as default. The awedrv is installed as an individual
module (sbawe.o). This works certainly although there occurs a
little compilation error occasionally.
2. Installation on RH-5.0, but the kernel is replaced with standard
linux-2.0.x. In this case, using install.sh script.
I confirmed that awedrv-0.4.2d works fine on 2.0.35 kernel.
(Of course, I mean the installation of awedrv, that is, wave table
function :-)
I found that most of installation problems on RH-5.0 came from the
misunderstanding of the difference above due to insufficient
documents.
Also, the problem came from RH's sound configuration program.
(I forgot the name, soundcfg or something like it?)
Since awedrv was not supported officially by this program, users must
edit isapnp.conf and conf.modules manually. This may lead to
confusion.
Now, we have a new problem: installation on RH-5.1.
I've never used RHL on my PC, then I have no idea for the following
questions.
1. Compatibility with RH-5.0
RH-5.1 has the compatible modulized sound driver with RH-5.0?
Is it still possible to install awedrv by install-rh.sh?
2. Update from RH-5.0 to RH-5.1
What happens if updated from RH-5.0?
3. PnP initialization
Is there any configuration program for PnP and modules?
I believe that the use of both standard linux-2.0.x package and isapnp
tools must work even on RH-5.1.
Anyway, if someone experienced installtion on RH-5.1, please let me
know how does it work.
With best regards,
