I can diff that to what we have under 17preXX and see if there are any clues... I did a back-port of the 2.4.0-test4 dmasound stuff to 2.2.17pre10-ben2 (will check on pre13-ben1 later): http://www.drfruitcake.com/linux/linuxppc.html For some people this helps - but it seems that there are problems (some minor, some major) across the board. I would much prefer to work on the 2.4.0-testX code (more useful in the grand scheme of things) and so would encourage you to test the back-port :-) Having said that, I would expect your machine to work - I think it's an AWACS sound chip of some variety? If it has a DACA you'll have to wait.. :-( Iain. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
