So I'm coming to the conclusion that the RME Multiface/dsp hardware rev. 1.08 hates the ASUS A8N-E motherboard. I get an hwdep ioctl error no matter how I set up the (limited) bios options and boot options with Ubuntu dapper 2.6.15.22 or 2.6.15.23 (i386, i686, k7 of each tried). Yes I got the firmware from alsa, yes the thing is plugged in. what 939 pin (AMD 64x2) motherboards(desktop) have people had sucess with the RME Multiface on and/or other linux os with asus a8n-e mobo? Sorry i have no dmesg, lspci etc (though they all seemed to be in fine shape) as I'm on another system Thanks m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
