The hardware howto does not list ACER
CD-ROM or the sound blaster compatible
units,,,  are they some other brand just
repackaged under the Acer brand?

Is Acer now manufacturing hardware ???

Yes, ACER is manufacturing hardware and claim its soundcard is 100% compatible
to Creative Lab's Sound Card. However, My ACER 16 bit soundcard is not working
for Linux and I am trying to find the true Creative Labs SoundBlaster. To
avoid hardware problem, you had better buying hardware according to
hardware support list.

 
 
 

1. linux, Mitsumi CD-ROM (& SB), & the TA CD-ROM - solved!

Finally!

As I posted recently, I got the TA CD-ROM, and found that the setup kernel
recognized the CD drive, but the installed one didn't. I had trouble with
the recompile, as well.

The answer is:
    in (I think it's) /etc/include/linux/drivers/blocks, there are *two*
        makefiles. One is named Makefile, the other Makefile.orig. When
        I diffed them, I discovered Makefile.orig *had* conditions for
        compiling the Mitsumi driver, the Soundblaster driver, and one
        other driver, and Makefile *didn't*. I renamed both, and reran
        the compile. No problems, using lilo (after the usual moving &
        /etc/lilo/install) I boot off my hard drive, I can mount the
        CD ROM, etc.

I am emailing TA this, as well.
