There is a good probability that I've missed something somewhere
along the way up to 2.1.79. If I have, I apologize for posting. But, I'm
having two problems that have persisted for a very long time now (up
through many kernel revisions) and still don't appear to work. The first
is that I'm compiling SoundBlaster support as a module and it doesn't
work. If I try using something that requires sound, the kernel says
device is not configured and I see this in my log files:
Jan 13 22:48:47 earth modprobe: can't locate module `h^??^DB^F@$i^??^H^B
depmod -e says the following symbols are bad in sb.o:
/lib/modules/2.1.79/misc/sb.o: unresolved symbol(s)
probe_uart401_R6467f99b
unload_uart401_Recfdd9c9
uart401intr_R6391d066
attach_uart401_R45af1327
Second problem is that my Western Digital caviar 3G EIDE drive doesn't
come up in DMA mode anymore, even though I answered yes to IDE-PCI and
IDE-DMA support. My chipset is a Intel 430FX. When I use hdparm -d1, it
says "Operation not permitted" (even though I'm root).
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
using_dma = 0 (off)
thanks for any advice,
