[newbie] Re: Sound problem
Hi Tia , Thanks for your help.I managed to get the sound working out of my Crystal CS4236 with LM8.1 .For the benifit of the guys trying to get sound out Crystal CS4232/4235/4236B/4237B/4238B/4239 i will tell exactly what i did to get my sound working. Thanks to the writeup by Deno in MandrakeForumML8.1 Troubleshooting:ISA PNP card:This was my reference. 1)Install the RPM isapnptools 1.26-4mdk 2)Use the pnpdump prog to create isapnp.conf.As root type: /sbin/pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf. 3)Now we have to choose the resoures.For that we have to edit the file: /etc/isapnp.conf and uncomment all lines starting with (ACT Y) and the lines listed below: (DMA0.. (DMA1... (INTO(IRQ5.. (IO 0 (Size4)(Base 0x534)) (IO 1 (Size4)(Base 0x388)) (IO 2 (Size16)(Base 0x220)) (IO 1 (Size8)(Base 0x200)) (INTO(IRQ9(Mode+E).. (IO 0 (Size2)(Base 0x330) 4)Now save the file and test the conf Type as root: /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf .There should be no error messages,if so check your configuration once more and recheck. 5) type: modeprobe cs4232. Sound should be working,if not try logout of KDE and login. 6) To get the module loaded on boot add the line : modprobe cs4232 in: /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. then reboot..

[newbie] LM8.0 installation
I ordered a LM8.0,however to my dismay,I could not proceed form one step of installation.The boot CD will boot ,after loading the Ram disk and it gives error and aborts the installation.I confirmed that it was a CD problem.However LM support choose to ignore all my e-mails and fax asking for a replacement CDnot even a reply in spite of quoting my registration ID.Then i spent three full days trying to down load cd1...and finally suceeded. My next problem is that ,the software cannot mount the SCSI cd drive.The SCSI card i have is BUSlogic BT-946C.The CD boots from the drive,BUs logic card is detected then it gives me an error saying no Cdrom device found.I tried to boot from a boot disk made with windoz and booted from it.Here also the SCSI card was detected,then i get an error sayingI could not mount a CD on device /dev/scd0.The CDrom i have is plexter PX-8XCS.However LM7.2 loads and runs verywell in this same setup.
