HAH! Success! Here's the magic incantations on a Compaq Armada 1700, ess1869 chipset, and 2.6.21 kernel: boot with noapic acpi=off pci=biosirq acpi *must* be enabled in the bios, and disabled with a kernel parameter, otherwise the cooling fan will not work. edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound to read: alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx options snd-es18xx index=0 enable=1 port=0x220 fm_port=0x388 mpu_port=0x300 irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1 *DO NOT* use the isapnp=0 parameter. This will cause insmod to fail. Strangely, alsaplayer will not work, but xmms works just fine. --Yan -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ Yan Seiner (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ o__ Certified Personal Trainer (_)\(_) ,>/'_ ,>/'_ Licensed Professional Engineer (_)\(_) (_)\(_) Linux stuff has made big progress over the competition. When things sit and don't start right away, we have a watch, and those poor guys have to settle for an hourglass. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
