I have a couple of questions, one definately relates to the sea0 driver, and the other may have something to do with it. These are the messages relating to the driver output by dmesg: sea0 at 0x0 irq 5 maddr 0xde000 msize 16384 on isa sea0: type Future Domain TMC-885/TMC-950 sea0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (sea0:0:0): "SANYO CRD-254S 1.02" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(sea0:0:0): CD-ROM cd present [179142 x 2048 byte records] [cd0 is the only device on that SCSI bus] The first problem is the whole computer will freeze for the second or three it takes the CD-ROM to wake up after sleeping for more than a few minutes. Everything stops (even the modem lights quit flashing, if the modem was otherwise busy). Everything seems normal after the disk is up to speed though. Is this an artifact from the sea0 driver, or should I suspect my cdrom drive? The other problem is a conflict with sbxvi0... here are the appropriate lines from the kernel config file: controller sea0 at isa? bio irq 5 iomem 0xde000 iosiz 0x2000 vector seaintr controller scbus1 at sea0 bus 0 device cd0 at scbus1 target 0 unit 0 controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 and the lines from dmesg: sb0 at 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 on isa sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> sbxvi0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with sea0 at 0x0 sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa <SoundBlaster MPU-401> opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM> The sea0 driver doesn't use I/O address 0x0, does it? The sbxvi0 driver doesn't advertise using that I/O addr either. Is this something that can be resolved (perhaps with that new sound driver I keep reading about?) or should I just get a different SCSI controller [this is a future plan anyway]. I have already decided the sound card is going to be leaving my system as soon as I can figure out exactly which other one I want [any suggestions?]. The current one is a Soundblaster 16 PnP... and it is extremely suseptible to noise from the modem (it puts out a very high volume of white noise, it's loud enough to drown out a cd playing in the cd-rom drive... but the noise only occurs when either the SD or RD lights flash on the modem). -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com)
