No sound

No sound

[Paolo Ciarrocchi]

Hi All,
I really don't know the version of a kernel that played sound (in the 2.5 serie).

dmesg from 2.5.61:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0rc7 (Sun Feb 09 18:00:12 2003 UTC).

ALSA device list:

And from 2.5.62:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0rc7 (Sat Feb 15 15:01:21 2003 UTC).
request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- snd-card-0. error = -16

ALSA device list:
  #0: Dummy 1
  #1: Virtual MIDI Card 1
  #2: 
  #3: ESS Maestro3 PCI at 0x1800, irq 5

Quite different from the previous one.

Both of them doesn't play any sound.

Any hint/suggestion ?

Ciao,
             Paolo

Adaptec drivers causing problem in RHL 8.0

[Sahani Himanshu]

Hi All,

May be you will say that this has been answered somewhere, but I am not
really able to understand what to do?

I recently installed RHL 8.0 on a SGI1200 server. The server has 
"Adaptec AIC-7896 SCSI BIOS v2.20S1B1" installed.

When I boot the system, the two SCSI channels are recognised, and then the
system is not able to initialise. The partial error codes are:

aic7xxx_abort returns 0x2002
SCSI 0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue TARGET RESET message
SCSI 0:0:0:0: Is not an active device

The system then probes the SCSI 0:0:1:0 channel upto SCSI 0:0:15:0 and
then goes for SCSI channel 2, for all the 15 devices.

Can anyone please tell me what should I do? The system was earlier running
on RHL 6.2

Thanx in advance.
With Best Regards
HimS

Those messages point to an interrupt routing problem.  The driver is
not able to see interrupts from the chip, so timeouts occur.  Have
you tries some of the various "apic/noapic" kernel options to see if
your interrupt routing improves?  Often switching between UP and
SMP kernels will change how interrupt routing is performed too.

Indeed, these are good avenues to poke.

FWIW, on Red Hat UP kernels, the "local IO-APIC" option is not even
compiled in.

I have tried the noapic option for the kernel without any result. However
I reloaded RHL 6.2 on the m/c, and it is working properly. By the way what
other options do I need to probe?

That is surprising as the m/c is working perfectly under RHL 6.2 which is
an older release, assuming that what works perfectly for an earlier
release should work for the later release.

Still waiting for a solution.

iirc this is a 440GX-box-from-hell; you HAVE to use the SMP kernel on
those.. the UP kernel doesn't have working irq routing.

This m/c is a single processor m/c. It seems that the smp kernel with RHL
8.0 is only for multi processor machine.
