[SLE] How to make SUSE detect a PCI card?
Hello everyone, I just changed my motherboard and I'm having problems detecting my soundcard on a specific slot. There are 3 PCI slots on this mobo. I want to place my soundcard on the slot farthest away from my AGP video-card because I do a lot of recording with the soundcard and I want to avoid any possible noise for being too close with video card. If I put my soundcard on the farthest slot, SUSE 10 won't detect it (If I do a lspci I won't see it). If I put my soundcard on the middle PCI slot it will detect it. Any idea on how to work around this? It could be an IRQ related issue....

very strange issue. To me it looks like a hardware problem of your motherboard. Can you use your sound card on that slot on Windows / Other OS? I am not fully sure, but I think "lspci" shows *all* hardware, inluding those with problematic IRQ. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

I'm starting to think is the mobo in fact. I'll install Windows on 2nd hard-drive and let see what happens. Thanks!

Sounds like your sound card needs a busmastering slot, and the farthest one is not such. If this is the case, its a mobo problem and not a suse one. If you can't hear anything then why worry? The frequencies employed and emitted by your video card are likely way beyond the range of human hearing. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Busmastering hmmm...Interesting. I did a search on this and that's probably what is happening. I shoulnd't have bought a cheap motherboard (ASrock) :(

Well, I hear a noticeable hum that wasn't before (on old motherboard). But then, I also have a different (and more powerful) power-supply that I'm starting to think is the culprit. Thanks!

It's probably not their fault; there are, I believe, still quite a number of non-busmastering devices out there that cannot tolerate being put into a busmastering slot. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

I've never heard of such a thing. A card that requires busmastering slots won't work elsewhere, but a card that does not busmaster does not care if the slot is capable. The majority of mobos these days have ALL slots busmaster capable. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I have a non-busmastering card that won't work in a busmaster slot. I also have an ancient Deskpro EN that has precisely one busmastering slot, out of 3 in the system. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

I've seen this before, on a machine where the last PCI card was not detected (middle slot, but still the first one from below). Solution was to turn on CONFIG_PNPACPI=y, and, if available, CONFIG_PNPBIOS.
Any idea on how to work around this? It could be an IRQ related issue....
