Dag nabbit! I'm confused and stumped and I think the answer is dangling in front of me but I don't know enough! Ok, I am trying to get sound to work (SB Live Value), so I recompiled kernel with a custom GENERIC config only thing changed was added option pcm (or is it device pcm?) Sound seems to work peachy (just dsp devices but I think that is normal..) ... All was good then I tried to dial out... ppp now seems to hang the system. .. I've tracked this down to accessing modem (%ppp and then typing term results in hang. -- real bastage to debug) Modem is still on /dev/cuaa4; If I use generic kernel modem is fine and of course I have no sound. I want both dang it! So anyway if anyone has any ideas (I bet it's simple but I can't see it ; 1+1=3 that sort of thing ) Anyway I'd be most grateful for a pointer or three. Rest of this is just hopefully helpful debugging aids. dmesg is the same as generic (quoted in the code block below) except thees three lines which are not in generic; they go right above the '3COM PCI FaxModem' line. pcm0: port 0xe000-0xe01f irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0 sio0: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled A google result:

quote: ... The above message is only to help diagnose non-working interrupts. It is printed if interrupts are broken at probe time. Interrupts might be broken at probe time but work later.

I've also read things about disabling ports (parallel I think it was), enabling ports(regarding a laptop) and I'm all so very confused GENERIC dmesg:

Hopefully I can think better later on. Much thanks to all, and even more to those that can provide a hint or three Feral... Zzzz p.s. at least recompiling the kernel isn't so bad [edited by - FeralofFireTop on August 26, 2003 1:47:23 AM]

Since your modem worked in your old kernel, try this...

Reboot with your old kernel, then kldload the module for the sound blaster instead of compiling pcm in.

To get your old kernel:

At the boot loader menu, press ''6'' to get to loader prompt. Press any key to stop the countdown, then type ''boot kernel.old''.

When that''s done, and your booted, type ''kldload snd_emu10k1''. If both the sound and modem work, then recompile your custom kernel without the pcm support, and change your /boot/loader.conf to load the snd_emu10k1 module.

It should be ''snd_emu10k1_load="YES"''.

You can reboot to make sure everything is loading happily.

Interim

That is interesting, the process you go through to get countdown boot load thing is different than I.. I get the boot loader, hit f5 (or f1 if I want windows) and I get the hit enter to boot right now else wait 10sec message thing. Well anyway...

I''ve compiled kernel multiple times so kernel.old was not GENERIC, however before I started I cped GENERIC to kernel.GENERIC ... I think that worked. Anyway I recompiled GENERIC and am running that currently.

An... uh, modem dials and it sounds like I connect but I can''t access web or anything... not sure waht is up with that, kind of sounds like I''ve a setting wrong somewhere.

Ooh no I bet I know what it is... I turened on ipfw, heh. *smackes self*

Uh anyway kldload resulted in lockup. (tried that with kernel.GENERIC and I got warning about newer linker than the emu module and kernel paniced (panic: don''t do that) heh I like that., anyway so I recompiled GENERIC and now I hang before kernel panic prints .. solid hang aperently.. cltr+alt+esc not even bring up to no debugger message.

Anyway kldload results in:

quote:
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xe00-0xe01f irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0
pcm0:unable to map interupt
device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xe00-0xe01f irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0

system is hung at this point

So hum...
In windows land the sound card has the same IO range, but irq 11 (most things are on irq 11) AND of course the same location.

Still hummmm ing,
Feral

Heh posted as anon I see, silly me.

Anyway it was ipfw being diligent, just a bit too diligent, I''ll get that figured out later So one problem down back to the original

Your pretty lucky your modem works.. None of mine do (they are winmodems ).

Best of luck,

Brad

Yea I feel your pain. My last was a conextuct or something like that, nice enough modem in windows... Eventually fried and I got a hardware modem. Shame they are more expensive, heh.

Maybe try moving your card''s PCI slot physically if you can. Might resolve the irq conflict. You have more issues than I have ever seen =)

Int.

Do you think it is an irq conflict? I kind of was under the impression irqs could be shared now. (Win2k for example just loves to put practically everything on the system at irq 11). I guess the

quote: A gooooogly quote: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/aic7xxx/1998-October/001867.html
PCI devices are specifically allowed to share IRQ''s, although until recently, few Linux device drivers could deal with that.

So uh, hum.


Hum. I guess I''ll try moving the card as a absolute last resort, or next time I open the case up which ever comes first .

Path of least resistance =).

They should share, but from the problems you''ve seen, you''ve probably found the one and only time they don''t.

The boot loader differences might be between 5.0 and 5.1. Never did fire up 5.0, just skipped it.

Int.

Heheh yup (on both accounts!)

I''m listing to the theme to archon as I type so I''m pretty sure I got it working ...

Turns out it *looks* like this system no like to share irqs in bsd land. ... No matter (NOW that I have swaped things around anyway!) I like proper seperate irqs anywawy... after swaping cards 3 or 4 times I hit on a combo that works. netcard on 11, sound on 5 and modem on 9 (I think). What a pain in the arse!

Phew least mouse wheel didn''t give me any trouble!

Thanks again as usuall Interim!
