Re: RE: Hammerfall DSP System Problems

I recompiled a new kernel 2.4.19 with the latency patch and preemptive 
kernel patch. I still got the same unresolved symbol, so I loaded the 
modules that it was giving errors for individually. Like this: 
  
 /sbin/modprobe snd-rawmidi 
/sbin/modprobe snd-hammerfall-mem 
/sbin/modprobe snd-hwdep 
/sbin/modprobe snd-hdsp 
 
 After I issue the last command I get the following errors: 
  
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o: init_module: 
No such device 
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters 
 
I know that I have the latest firmware. However, I am using the 
lastest version of ALSA 0.9.4 from the ftp site. I also tried the 
lastest CVS and I get the same error. When I check the hdsp.c it has 
the code for my firmware version 0x0b. 
 
What is the status of this driver on the newest firmware? I am sorry 
if I am asking questions that have already been answered.   
 
I am okay with C programming if you need more help. The main thing is 
I don't understand the status of the driver with the newest firmware 
and what do I use the hdsploader for, or how. The documentation I have 
found for the setup of this card doesn't mention this program. 
 
Someone please help or direct me were I can get it. 
 
Thanks, 
Frank
