Troubles with an old SB16-IDE

Troubles with an old SB16-IDE

Post by Diego Zuccat » Thu, 30 Dec 1999 04:00:00



Hello all.

Can't make it work. IDE part works great, but when loading sound-related
modules :




/lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

I tried all possible combinations of io [0x200 to 0x260, step 0x10], irq
[5 or 7], dma [1 or 3] and dma16 [5 or 7], but it always gives the same
message :-(

My /etc/conf.modules :
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias snd sb
pre-install snd /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/sound.o dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388

Could someone please help ?

Tks,
 Diego.

Try IRQ 9 or 10; I've had to use either/both on different machines' SB16s.

1. Old SB16 card with IDE interface

I recently dusted off an old 486 system and have been messing with it for
days trying to get linux to work with it, and I've managed to leap over all
the hurdles except this one...

The CDROM drive is on an IDE interface on an ISAPNP Sound Blaster 16 card.
I've hacked up a special modified version of the slinky redhat installer
(for systems with <32mb ram) that has a kernel with both ISAPNP support as
well as support for ide interfaces on isa cards.

And it flumps anytime any cdrom access is attempted (first time at boot with
the block check stuff)... and taking a look at /proc/ide/ (etc) it does show
that its controling hdg with ide-cdrom drivers

hdg: irq timeout: stats=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdg: irq timeout: error=0x64
hdg: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdg: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdg: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
ide3: unexpected interrupt, status=0x51, count=1
hdg: ATAPI reset complete

(thats hand re-typed btw)

I would jsut put the cdrom on the main IDE interface, but apparently my BIOS
will only let a single drive on it... (either than or this floppy interface
is actually the slave of that one... which would be very weird since its two
different sockets on the MB)

ANYWAY, someone must have been able to get this sort of thing to work
before... any help appreciated
