by Hi,
I'm using RH5.1 and I'm trying to config a sound card: ESS1869.
It is a Plug'NPlay (Pray ?) ISA card.
I followed instructions on how to configure and "wake up" the cart
via isapnp tools (and the config looks reasonable, since it matches
the one used by W98). I have a pnp BIOS booted with "NON PNP OS"
Now the problem is: how do I instruct the devices (/dev/audio and so)
about which configuration I setted in the card ?
I compiled the kernel inserting everything regarding sound as
"module" (M).
When I try
insmod sound trace_init=1
dmesg
I get:
Sound initialization started
Sound initialization complete
that is: the card was not found. No wonder: I never told where to look
for it !
I read that the command "insmod" supports arguments (like trace_init)
that would instruct the device about the configuration of the card, but
I don't know which these arguments are !
Could anyone help me ?
Thanks,
