Vibra 16V PnP <-> SuSE 5.3 ?

Vibra 16V PnP <-> SuSE 5.3 ?

[Rico Dreier]

Hello,

I'm trying to activate a Vibra 16C PnP under SuSE 5.3. Independent of the selected
Interrupt 5 or 7 an error occurs during the boot process saying that the interrupt
test failed (no other devices use INT5/7 -> /proc/interrupts). The soundcard can
not be configured by using YaST since it is not possible to reach the respective
menu entry.

The kernel is compiled with audio support etc. selected, but I'm not sure if all
the sound options are set correctly :-/  Does the card only work by using the
isapnp tool, and does anybody have a valid isapnp.conf file for SoundBlaster Vibra
16C or 16X?

Inserting the sound module with insmod or modprobe leads to unresolved symbols.

Thanks for every hint,
Bye, Rico

I had this same prob with a soundblaster under SuSE, RedHat and Slackware (I
switched from Slackware to SuSE and played with RedHat just to try it out).
The problem was BIOS was locking it out. I changed IRQ 5 to be available for
isapnp and it was immediately taken by my scsi card and video card, so I
loaded the soundcard at IRQ 11 :).

Same prob I had. This was under 2.0.3x, 2.1.x and 2.2.x. Once I changed the
bios AND went to a higher irq it worked. Just moving to a higher irq before
hadn't worked...
