Hi, |
2 |
I brought my external dectalk express home tonight to install 2004.2 on my |
3 |
home system. I ran into a real problem, and I don't know what would be |
4 |
really important in a bug report. |
5 |
I have an Asus p4c800-e deluxe motherboard with p4 3.4 and an s-ata hd. I |
6 |
also have an USB 2.0 external IDE drive bay with an ata-100 hd which shows |
7 |
up as /dev/sda. All went well, booted with speech, mounted drives, etc. |
8 |
Only problem, the onboard Intel CSA Gig-e network adapter wasn't fully |
9 |
configured. When I ran net-setup the machine locked with no speech. |
10 |
On-screen msg was |
11 |
disabling interupt 17 |
12 |
n interrupt not disabled |
13 |
Or something similar (working with a 13 year old). |
14 |
|
15 |
I searched gentoo bugs for csa (no joy) and p4c800-e deluxe (joy, but only |
16 |
for pnpbios). |
17 |
|
18 |
It should be noted that I used the command line |
19 |
smp speakup_synth=dectlk |
20 |
So the smp enabled 2.6 kernel was loaded. Prior boot I had used |
21 |
gentoo speakup_synth=dectlk |
22 |
But the 2.4 kernel did not fully recognize/drive the onboard sound. Since I |
23 |
was hoping to get software speech up and running the soundcard support is |
24 |
critical. Also, the smp support for hyperthreading is a "nice to have". is |
25 |
the driverr version listed is 5.x.x and the Asus site has an Intel 7.0.x |
26 |
driver for linux for the CSA adapter. It also has an ALSA 0.9.6 soundmax |
27 |
driver. The CSA driver is listed for RH 7.3, 8, 9 and SUSE 9.0, I assume |
28 |
this is all 2.4.x kernels? I don't want to post a bug without fully vetting |
29 |
the problem since I assume that since there is at least one posted/fixed bug |
30 |
for the p4c800-e deluxe that someone else is using this board with no |
31 |
problem now. The only question that is left is are they using the onboard |
32 |
ethernet, and if so, is this a problem specific to having speakup or |
33 |
optionally the serial port active? Guidance please? What can I do to |
34 |
provide the most helpfull bug report with the most accurate problem |
35 |
description I can come up with? |
36 |
|
37 |
Thanks, |

P.s. Since I have the universal CD, should I try patching the |
42 |
gentoo-dev-sources kernel with the driver from the Asus site? I presume |
43 |
that I can get all of this built without networking, if my reading of the |
44 |
install.txt is correct? |

Now, what I have noticed |
