by Can someone please take a look at this and let me know where my
problem is.
I am a "semi-newbie" and after hacking for a few weeks I have HP
printer,
PNP modem, etc. all working, all except SB AWE 64 Value. I have
refrained
from the usual stupid posts that seem to always recieve a spiteful
'read the
READMES' response. But I could really use some help here.
Problem-compiled kernel using awe-drv patch but AWE32 drivers are
not
loaded. Trying to do a simple test as cat sound > /dev/audio results in
something
like "DMA buffer out of memory" I believe the AWE 64 Value has 512k of
RAM,
which was the value I origanally used during config. I tried other
values as well
but no luck. Am I headed down the correct path??
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Here is relevant info (maybe)
Many Thanks in advance
