You're right. It's on /dev/hdc. I just remember having connected a
wire directly from it to the SB.

FYI:

You might have a cdrom installed.. But I suspect it is on an IDE channel
rather then on the IDE channel on the soundcard? I am not sure on AWE32
cards, but I know the AWE64 has no ide cdrom controller. So hence my card
would have no sure CDROM entry in the ISAPNP.CONF file.

[PB] a quiet sound blaster

1998-12-29 Thread Didier Verna 

[ First, thanks to everyone answered my first post ]

It's amazing how my SB AWE 64 Gold can remain silent these days...
So, I followed the instructions in Marcus' mini HOWTO. Everything went right,
even the reboot step, but then, nothing works. Here are the symtoms:

* At boot time, the only line appearing is: "AWE32: not detected"[1].

* Trying to cat a sound file on /dev/audio says: "device busy".

* I also tried it manually:
  `isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' says a line similar to that of the mini HOWTO
  `modprobe -r sound' says "device busy"
  `modprobe -a sound' says nothing.

* Some other checks: cat /dev/sndstat outputs something very similar to the
  example in the mini HOTWO, appart from the 2 AWE32 lines which are not
  present. `lsmod' says a line about sound (usage number: 2) etc...

* My generated /etc/isapnp.conf look also very much like the example (appart
  from a missing ->CD ROM<- entry, which is surprising because I know I have a 
  cdrom connected).


What can be going wrong ?

Footnotes: 
[1]  BTW, I already had an init file for isapnp in /etc/init.d, but I'm not
sure whether it is executed automatically at boot time or not. The HOWTO
speaks about a /etc/init.d/boot file, which I don't have.
