Re: sound and networking on IBM ThinkPad 600

Bernard:
I would be surprised indeed if you could compile it right into the kernel in such an old kernel version. Check your BIOS menu for settings for the sound card. If there aren't any, then it's plug and play only.
If there ARE options on DMA, IRQ, and the like, then be advised that io range 0x220 and IRQ 5 are reserved for sound devices; they shouldn't cause any conflicts. DMAs 1 and 5 are usually for 8 and 16 bit DMA to the card, respectively (this is a-la the old soundblasters, which sort of set the convention)
If NOT, then you should check your dmesg to try to see what bus your card thinks it's on. If it's PCI, then make sure PnP is enabled in the kernel you compiled and there should be a section in dmesg saying what resources were assigned to it. Pass the module (or hard-compile in the kernel if you wish) those options, and you should be set. Passing it nothing at all is _always_ going to give errors, so don't even bother. If it's ISA, you need isapnp. There was a thread recently on user about this package, you should check the archives.
As a side note, I really recommend that you upgrade to a 2.4.x kernel...there have been massive advances for laptops lately! I am running 2 laptops, one 150MHz pentium classic and one 750 pIII and both are happy with it.

Hi folks!
* It seems so, that the problem with the PCMCIA-network-card is fixed now. I edited the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and entered the values that I entered before in my normal config.-files for networking. The automatic loading and unloading of the modules is working whenever i insert or remove my card. Very Interesting! I don't knew before, that I have to edit especially this file. Thanks! But I don't had the chance to test it in a network yet, cause a crossover cable is missing.
* The sound is still drown in silence. I tried the OSS-driver for my crystal soundchip in the kernel. If I configure it as "build-in", not as a module, I'm able to change a few options for IRQ and stuff like that. But I made no changes, cause I don't know, how to figure out the used and unused irq's. So I build my 2.2.17 with these options and rebooted. But the sound isn't working. I think there is an irq-conflict or something like that. The following messages were printed in the log-files: 

"interrupt test failed (irq11)"
"Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?" (this message appears also at start of esd) 
--> this one 4 times
I don't know what to do now. Do I have to change the irq for the crystal in my kernel config and rebuild my kernel? Or is there another way out of the silence. (without alsa) 

Thanks a lot!!!

Bernard
