[gentoo-user] udev upgrade and non-working eth0

Re: [gentoo-user] udev 103, alsa dual soundcard problem
On 11/27/06, Dave Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yesterday I upgraded udev to 103, but have hit some problems with alsa configuration of multiple sound cards. I have an 'on board' Intel 8x0 sound card which I use for VoIP telephony, and a PCI Creative Audigy which I use to play music. The Audigy is configured to alsa as sound card 0, while the Intel card is sound card 1. This set up has worked perfectly for years. The udev 103 upgrade recommends removing coldplug. However, the alsa initialisation script (alsasound) depend on both coldplug and hotplug. If I remove coldplug from the boot runlevel alsasound fails, leaving only the Intel sound card initialised. Hmm - I don't have this issue - what version of alsa-utils are you running? I'm running 1.0.13. I don't even have a /etc/init.d/coldplug init script on my system - maybe you need to do an emerge -C coldplug? Maybe if the coldplug script doesn't exist then alsasound won't complain about it... Just a theory. ;) Even worse is that udev seems to discover the sound cards in the reverse order to coldplug. My Audigy card becomes /dev/dsp1 and the Intel card is /dev/dsp0. Unfortunately, Audacious, my music player of choice, doesn't seem to offer any choice of which dsp to use. To put it mildly, this is a major pain; I don't want to listen to music played through the VoIP headset connected to the Intel card. Is there any way I can persuade udev to generate the /dev entries for my sound cards in a particular order, so that Audacious can continue to work with /dev/dsp0?

My Audigy card becomes /dev/dsp1 and the Intel card is /dev/dsp0. Unfortunately, Audacious, my music player of choice, doesn't seem to offer any choice of which dsp to use. A couple of notes: 1. any application using /dev/dsp* is _not_ using alsa. It is using the legacy oss emulation mode of alsa. Real alsa device names are things like hw:0,0, or virtual device names like default. 2. The only way to set the card order is to load the drivers in the desired order. udev unfortunately has no control over which card becomes hw:0 vs hw:1. 3. You can prevent udev from coldplugging drivers automatically by aliasing the PCI ID of the hardware to off. For example, my ipw3945 wireless card will not work when coldplugged by udev, so I have the following in /etc/modules.d/ipw3945: alias pci:v8086d4222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off alias pci:v8086d4227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off This inhibits udev from loading the ipw3945 module when it scans the PCI bus (ok, technically the pci device entries in /sys). If you do something similar, adding alias entries to /etc/modules.d/alsa, you should be able to have the modules loaded in the correct order when the alsasound script runs. You can get the list of pci aliases for a module with: grep module_name /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias Remember to run modules-update after making changes in /etc/modules.d/ for the changes to take effect.

I checked the drive and my IDE/ATAPI drivers - there are exactly two primary channels and two secondary channels. On each of the primary channels is a device in slot 0. The first one is operating in DMA 4 mode (I suspect that this is my DVD-RW drive), while the second one is operating in PIO mode. I couldn't find a way to change that from the device manager, since it is set to use DMA if available. So that is very likely the problem with the windows slow down.

Don't forget to etc-update or dispatch-conf to update the init scripts. As far as them loading in reverse order, see the gentoo-wiki for information on forcing module loading with regard to multiple card setups: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Complete_%28includes_dmix%29#Post-Installation_Configuration On 11/28/06, Daniel Barkalow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 27 Nov 2006, Dave Jones wrote: Even worse is that udev seems to discover the sound cards in the reverse order to coldplug. My Audigy card becomes /dev/dsp1 and the Intel card is /dev/dsp0. You should be able to force them to get the names you want with a couple of sufficiently specific udev rules. The whole point of udev is that this sort of policy is up to you, rather than being chosen by the system using black magic. Look at the manpage for udev and the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/, and write rules for NAME=sound/dsp0 and NAME=sound/dsp1 which match the cards you want to have those names. Unfortunately, Audacious, my music player of choice, doesn't seem to offer any choice of which dsp to use. Assuming you've emerged audacious-plugins the alsa USE flag, go to Audacious's preferences, Audio, and select ALSA 1.2.2 output plugin instead of OSS Output Plugin, to actually use ALSA natively for it (which lets ALSA do software mixing, among other benefits). In any case, under Audio, Output Plugin Preferences for either of these plugins will let you select a card arbitrarily. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Jason Weisberger [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks again for your help, guys: Just highlight the text you want to copy, then click the middle mouse button in the window you want to paste. Unix-style copy-and-paste :) Aha! Used to know that. Thanks. As it is written, it is probably a faulty hardware problem. Try re-emerging. If it dies again *randomly* (i.e. by segfaulting in another location), 99% it's a faulty RAM/processor problem. Quite right. Redid the job and it came through clean. Very hot weather here - may have upset the box, since it's been v reliable so far. Carl Adams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
