Re: gettting an awe64 to work in debian alpha

["Ted Goodridge, Jr." <tedgoodridgejr@acm.org>]

PnP is working, and persistent buffers do matter...every howto ive seen on  
kernel compiling states you must use persistent buffers with an AWE64 card  
to get it to work.  PNP detects the card and initilizes it fine.  Its just  
loading the driver fails.

Is persistent buffers compiled into the default modules?
