My HWINFO is as follows: ......while working albeit with clicks and pops and squeel but otherwise I have sound ASUS:/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.3-bigsmp/kernel/drivers/md # hwinfo --sound 32: PCI 10.1: 0403 Audio device [Created at pci.286] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_26c Unique ID: wRyD.WL+f1WXqJn7 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.1 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:10.1 Hardware Class: sound Model: "ASUSTeK MCP51 High Definition Audio" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x026c "MCP51 High Definition Audio" SubVendor: pci 0x1043 "ASUSTeK Computer Inc."

I have a problem and have submitted a bug report where the sound completely goes away if I adjust the volume from within any sound player while KMIX is also loaded and can only be reset by attempting to load a bogus 2nd card, causing an error during initialization of the bogus card, doing an abort and for some reason, that restores the sound. Simply logging off or resetting/restarting the sound system without a reboot or doing the above jumping through hoops does not work, however, I do have sound and none of the other drivers seem to work including ones on the Nvidia web site. The ones the default installation in 10.2 selected at least allow me to have sound as long as I adjust the volume with KMIX off or only using KMIX and remembering not to use the volume slider within an application. IF you find a better solution, I *REALLY* would appreaciate a ding because the 'whistle' when any sound is playing is annoying, but better than silence. Richard ~~~ Thanks for the reply Richard. I should have mentioned that I am running Suse 10.0. I sent an e-mail to Asus; wish me luck. Any solutions I find I'll post. ~James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-amd64] EliteGroup K8M800-M2 V2 and lm-sensors
by Rainer Brinkmann 24 Jun '07

24 Jun '07

Hello together, does anyone know the exact lm_sensor-config for the EliteGroup K8M800-M2 in version 2 ? At low CPU-Last the k8Temp shows temperatures between 33 and 40°C , at load temps tiil upt to 67°C is reached. Allways k8-Temp. The it8712-hwmon1-temperature is about 3x high as the k8-temp, but is the entrence in /etc/sensors.conf correct? Next adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Probing for `Fintek F75383S/M'... Success! (confidence 7, driver `to-be-written') Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Probing for `AMD K8 thermal sensors'... Success! (confidence 9, driver `k8temp') Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `it87') Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000' Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x4c Chip `Fintek F75383S/M' (confidence: 7) Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000' Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x50 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) * Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000' Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x51 Chip `eeprom' (confidence: 6) Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) As said above, does anyone know the exact entrance for /etc/sensors.conf ? With regards Rainer

Hi, On Sat, Jun 23, 2007 at 01:33:08PM -0700, mark pryor wrote: > > I don't use this exact board, but I have another asrock that uses the ALI chipset. I found that I had to turn on the raid bios, even when not using raid or there was a long delay during boot. Also if raid was off Linux wouldn't load the sata driver by itself. Thanks for the hint. In the meantime I attached another DVD drive and voila - problems gone. Strange because the DVD drive has a separate IDE bus, no master/slave probs etc. -- "Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way.

[opensuse-amd64] problems / crashes with ASRock AM2NF3-VSTA
by Harald Milz 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

Hi, I recently bought the above board together with a X2 EE 3800+ CPU. OpenSUSE 10.2 and the latest Knoppix crash during boot. Debian Etch does install fine, but crashes most of the time when I access the DVD-ROM drive. The board uses a amd74xx PCI/IDE driver. I suspect IDE DVD access is the problem. (Strangely, Debian installed fine from the DVD drive but I can't tell if the said driver was loaded then. ) Any pointer what might be wrong here? NForce3 250 Chipset? amc74xx Driver? DVD drive? TIA! -- As long as the answer is right, who cares if the question is wrong? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-amd64] After recompiling util-linux, "which" segfaults

Hi, we are running SuSE 10.1/x86_64 and SLES 10/x86_64 (same issue). We need a patched version of util-linux so I first tried to recompile the util-linux.src.rpm by simply rpm -ihv .../suse/src/util-linux-2.12r-35.src.rpm rpmbuild -ba SPECS/util-linux.spec This runs through and creates a new RPM.
