Just tried it, but as I already expected, this is no cure.
Look, the problem is not that Linux does not try to load module ymfpci:
it tries very hard! I find dozens of failed attempts reported in
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages, from the very start of the boot
sequence, when the hotplug subsystem loads drivers for all devices present.
The problem is that, with ymfpci, every attempt fails with the following
sequence of messages, which is also the result of entering 'modprobe ymfpci'
on the command line:
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:09.0
ymfpci: YMF744 at 0xfedf8000 IRQ 9
/lib/modules/2.4.20-hetkukel-1/kernel/drivers/sound/ymfpci.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.20-hetkukel-1/kernel/drivers/sound/ymfpci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-hetkukel-1/kernel/drivers/sound/ymfpci.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-hetkukel-1/kernel/drivers/sound/ymfpci.o: insmod ymfpci failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
Somehow, Windows is to blame, for this *only* happens after a 'warm reboot'
from Windows. After a power-on boot or a reboot from Linux there is only one
line in the logs about ymfpci, effectively saying that the module has been
loaded and is ready for its job.
