Could this be (part of?) the problem? --
in dmesg:
.
.
.
isab0: <PCI-ISA bridge> at device 10.0 on pci0
.
.
.
pci3: <multimedia, audio> at device 10.0 (no driver attached)
I've re-compiled my kernel yet again to remove the sio device, since
this thing has no 8250 or 16[45]50 serial ports on it, which got rid of
the error messages in dmesg I was seeing about the port not being
enabled and the IRQ not mapping.
It also has no parallel port on it -- can I remove the ppc, ppbus, lpt,
plip, and ppi devices without breaking anything else?
The only peripheral ports this thing has on it are USB2.
I'm pretty much stuck with a custom kernel on this machine, since the
wireless network I'm on requires WEP, and the wlan_wep module would need
to be loaded by hand if I went with the generic kernel and module
loading ... which would also mean hand-starting dhcpclient and ifconfig,
since both will fail at boot-time without wlan_wep. All the wireless
stuff works just fine with ath, ath_hal, ath_rate_sample, wlan, and
wlan_wep compiled into the kernel.
The only thing I can't seem to get working is this blasted sound card.
I wouldn't even worry about it if I didn't have to do this stupid flash
based video training crap (why can't they just send me TFM so I can R
it?!?). *sigh*
