Kernel hangs on sound module

2002-09-05 Thread Steven Kurylo
Using the debian kernel image 2.4.18 (or 16, 17, etc) I try and insert the module for my sound card (es1371), the kernel hangs. No oops, no messages anywhere, other than a being told loading the module was a success. I have to press the reboot switch to get the machine going again. I pulled

Running debian woody 2.4.12 I use XMMS all the time and have never had a problem with it. Today I decided to play around with plug-ins so I did a apt-get install `apt-cache search xmms plugin | cut -f1 --delimiter=\ |sed s#smpeg-xmms##` to get all the plugin packages. I did the sed part

Does anyone have any tips to getting a no-name ISA NE?000 clone working with Sid? I does work fine as I rebooted to Mandrake and used it... Is it a PNP card? If so you need to use the isapnp tools. Otherwise the card should have jumpers on it and you can set them to whatever IO and IRQ

I don't have that problem. I installed php4 and edited the apache conf file to enable php4 (the module and the extenions), it worked right away. Now the php4-mysql isn't in woody, but I just grabbed the sid version and its working just fine. Steven At 03:38 PM 6/13/01 -0500, you wrote: is

Re: IRQ: how to find out which is to be used?

2000-12-17 Thread Steven Kurylo
To find which IRQ a ISA PnP card is using, you need to use the ISA PnP tools. I think it might even be installed with a default debian setup. run pnpdump and it will scan for cards and tell you everything you need to know about the device to get it running. Of course refer to the manfiles
