Hi, Just got a new PentiumII 300Mhz with 64MB RAM and Matrox Millenium II PCI with 8MB WRAM. I have FreeBSD 2.2.6 installed. I basically have all my hardware working except my sound card. It's a new fangled AWE64D PCI PNP. I understand the AWE64 line has been all ISA up until now and think mostly everybody currently running them under FreeBSD uses them (the AWE64 and AWE64Gold ISA). Does anybody have a AWE64D PCI PNP set up? I have configured pnp0 and awe0 (as well as the usual sb16 stuff) into my kernel. I have entered the following into the kernel userconfig: > pnp 1 0 on enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 (for SB16 and OPL emulation part of card) > pnp 1 0 on enable port0 0x201 (for joy0) > pnp 1 0 on enable port0 0x1020 (Win98 identifies the AWE64D at that io port, although I've also tried 0x620) Upon booting, the kernel finds no PNP devices. It detects the awe0 at 0x1020, but then complains that AWE32 really doesn't exist. It also finds, joy0, but my MS Sidewinder doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's just that the MS Sidewinder doesn't conform to sending the standard signals the joy0 driver expects. I think I know why the SB16 and OPL emulation doesn't work. Apparantly, the AWE64D has hardware SB16 emulation with irq and dma achieved through a SB-LINK cable connected directly to motherboards that accept that connection. Alas, mine does not. However, I was hoping to get the AWE64D to work. It's a 32-bit PCI sound board using a EMU8008 wavetable synthesizer. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? At least can anybody point me to an internet tutorial, of some sort, for the FreeBSD pnp subsystem? I find the pnp(4) manual page to be informative, but a bit terse. Thank You, JM -- Jeffrey M.
