I am currently upgrading from RedHat 5.1 to 6.0 manually.
I have upgraded the kernel to 2.2.5. I have, of course,
broken many things. One of the things I have broken is
sound support. I have an Ensoniq Soundscape PnP card.
Previously, I used OSS/Free to enable sound support. I am
trying to load sound support as a kernel module but can't.
Here is my understanding of what I have to do:
1. Enable kernel module support and configure the sound
support as a module. I have done both of these things.
2. I need to load the microcode to the sound card after
the kernel boots. I compile ssinit.c from snd-util-3.5.tar.gz
with the following macros set:
#define DSPDEV "/dev/dsp"
#define CODEFILE "/usr/local/lib/sndkit/sndscape.co3"
3. When I run ssinit.exe from /etc/rc.d/rc.local, it
should load the correct modules automatically if the
module dependencies are correctly set. This is done in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit by "depmod -a". I also have to set the
module options correctly in /etc/conf.modules. The
settings are:
#SOUND modules
alias char-major-14 sscape
options sscape io=0x534 irq=11 dma=1 mpu_irq=9 mpu_io=0x330
4. This doesn't work and I get the following message in
/var/log/messages:

What am I doing wrong? What are the correct settings for
the sscape module? How do I determine them? If it helps,
here are the settings from the previous OSS setup (devices.cfg):
