I finally got around to attempting to get my Crystal PnP soundcard working in
Linux. Sndconfig almost worked this time (it would not work previously, RPM
would not let me install it, but it magically did this time). To get my
sound to work, I had to change an IRQ in isapnp.conf:
# Start dependent functions: priority preferred
# IRQ 9.
# High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default)
(INT 0 (IRQ 11 (MODE +E))) #_____This 11 was previously a 10____
# Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
# Minimum IO base address 0x0330
# Maximum IO base address 0x0330
# IO base alignment 8 bytes
# Number of IO addresses required: 2
(IO 0 (BASE 0x330))
I had to do this manually, because sndconfig would not let me choose IRQ 11
for my card. After I rebooted, my sound worked. (Except for olp3, which is
midi, right?) But my D-Link DFE-530-TX PCI network card, which is on IRQ 10,
did not, so I no longer have internet connectivity from within Linux.
Curiously, during boot the step "Determining IP information for eth0 via
dhcpcd," which takes about one minute to tell me "FAILED", took only a second
or so to fail after I made this change to isapnp.conf. Please give me a
hand with this, I am so close to being able to do everything in Linux that I
could under Windows, without crashes :)
Many thanks!
