S3 Sonic Vibes Linux driver

S3 Sonic Vibes Linux driver

[Jonathon Horsman]

Greetings,

I obtained this email address from the MAINTAINERS file in the 2.4.21 
kernel source. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.


The specified URL in MAINTAINERS:
http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~sailer/linux/pciaudio.html

does not work! I assume should be updated to ~tom/linux/pciaudio.html

Having upgraded from the 2.4.19 kernel, I now receive the following 
error when attempting to load the sonicvibes kernel:

kernel: sv: version v0.31 time 12:14:29 Jun 17 2003
kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 12 for device 02:00.0
kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate resource 7(0-1f) for 02:00.0
kernel: sv: cannot allocate DDMA controller io ports


This is a Redhat 7.3 box, the motherboard does have onboard sound but 
this has been disabled at the bios, so I don't think it should affect it.

Your site gives a command line option: dmaio=x
However I'm uncertain what parameter should be passed here.

lspci -vv gives:

Any suggestions would be great

Cheers

The kernel proper wasn't able to allocate IO addresses for the DDMA
controllers.

This parameter no longer exists for eons, DDMA address allocation should
be automatic.
