Etch / ThinkPad 600E / How to blacklist the soundcard?
Significant changes have been made between Sarge and Etch. The files mentioned long long ago to cure PnP trying to load an AC97 driver for a ThinkPad 600E with integrated CS423x chip are no longer there. Where has the inequivalent functionality been moved?

I am running Sarge with the 2.6x i686 kernel. Is skip/blacklist the only option in Debian to skip a driver? There is no method to remove drivers from the master list of drivers vs the logic flow of detected but I am suppose to skip it? My 600E was also loading the ac97 driver, so I added it in these spots as well, and it no longer loads either. I will try dropping ac97 to see if these lines were actually enough, maybe it trying ac97 was a side affect of the cs64xx failing. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I no longer have any ISA enabled machines... most of this is from memory and reading the man pages and other references. I remember most stinkpads had Crystal Audio in them... but I could be wrong. princess:~# modprobe -l | grep cs423 /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/isa/opti9xx/snd-opti92x-cs4231.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4232.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4231-lib.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4231.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236-lib.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-1-k7/kernel/sound/oss/cs4232.ko Here are the things I'd start with: apt-gte install pnputils lspnp -v | grep -e audio -e crystal Look for something like codec or card Look for the prefix (first 2 character, should be in hex) Like B0 or 1E or something like that. Once you discover that prefix do it for each prefix except the joystick (the joystick and the MPU401 would conflict): setpnp $prefix_number on If that gives you an error, I haven't been able to determine if that is because I no longer have ISA in the machine I am trying or not. But in any case, you should make sure you load the proper snd-cs-423[1|2|6] module with apropos settings. Which right now escapes me. Just found a possibly apropos thing on the Ubuntu forums (see *SOMETIMES* forums do work): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=230076 Its old, but it still might work for you. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I will have a look. Thanks. You might download the Ubuntu source for pnpbios-tools or the Debian source for pnputils (from unstable) and compile it yourself and install it. Many, all I can say is sorry... it appears ISA has fallen on the floor in Debian, and it might slip into a crack soon, if something isn't done. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Still, SOMETHING that remains in Etch thinks it needs to load a driver, and all I am trying to stop. It is not that I want the driver to work.

I have no need for sound card support for a text mode mobile server. OK, easy enough. I've followed this procedure for a while with modprobe and it tends to work on most modular systems I've tried it on. This is for the on-board audio card I hate in another machine... but it would still apply: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat blacklist-duke blacklist snd_via82xx_modem blacklist snd_via82xx So, as you can see, you would need to make a file like this: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-machinename Add all the cs423* files in there like this: blacklist snd-opti92x-cs4231 blacklist snd-cs4236 blacklist snd-cs4236-lib blacklist snd-cs4232 blacklist snd-cs4231 blacklist snd-cs4231-lib I use the blacklist-machinename so I know it will survive upgrades. Quite a few times I had to re-edit the regular blacklist after an upgrade. So I went through the scripts and found it looked for blacklist* (pretty much that is) and did that.

Re: Etch / ThinkPad 600E / How to blacklist the soundcard?
Simply adding the following line to file: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist blacklist snd_cs46xx solved the trouble. For some reason Linux mis-detects the cs423x chip as a cs46xx chip which is Crystal's PCI chip. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
