hi all, I recently "cvsup'd (Mar 17-18) and made world" 4.3BETA. While I was using 4.2-STABLE, I used to compile my sound card (AWE64Gold) into the kernel. As I had only rarely accessed the sound card from this machine, I decided to give the modules a try. Bottom line is, it doesn't work. What I did, and the error messages I get follow: -Remove pcm and sbc from /sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL -Compile new kernel and modules. Completes without any major errors. -Load sound modules during bootup with the following statements in /boot/loader.conf: snd_pcm_load="YES" snd_sbc_load="YES" -Reboot -The modules seem to load OK. Here's an excerpt from 'dmesg': ... Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc035a000. Preloaded elf module "vinum.ko" at 0xc035a09c. Preloaded elf module "snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc035a13c. Preloaded elf module "snd_sbc.ko" at 0xc035a1dc. ... -The card (PnP by the way) seems to initialize OK. Here's another excerpt from 'dmesg': ... sbc0: <Creative SB AWE64 Gold> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 ... -The modules are still there after bootup. kldstat shows this: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 4 0xc0100000 17d7f8 kernel 2 1 0xc027e000 c4ae0 vinum.ko 3 1 0xc0343000 116e8 snd_pcm.ko 4 1 0xc0355000 3d94 snd_sbc.ko -Just to make sure, I delete all audio devices and remake them like this, cd /etc; sh MAKEDEV snd0 -Now, the moment of truth. 'cat /dev/sndstat' shows this: cat: /dev/sndstat: Device not configured -aumix shows this: aumix: error opening mixer I can't figure it out. I've RTFM'd all I can find, man 4 pcm, sbc, etc etc etc. I find no useful info regarding using sound card drivers as modules. The drivers might work if I compile them, but that would defeat the purpose of having them as modules in the first place. Could anybody offer assistance?
