Hi,
It seems quite odd, but I´m unable to get sound out of my Powermac Running the new SuSE7.3 PPC with improved Sound support.... Well I tried all methods I have been applying to such problems since SuSE 7.0 x86, no avail. If I try 'modprobe dmasound' or 'modprobe dmasound_pmac' Linux says it cant find the module 'dmasound', although I found it under /lib/modules/2.4.12/kernel/sound/dmasound. Same with 'insmod awacs' etc. Since SuSE claims the capabilities of yast 2 I tried a new installation completely using YAST2. Yast 2 detects my souns system as snd0burgundy. But when it comes to the point it should start th sounddriver there is a sort *knack* and the whole System is frozen, no mousemovement no console, no ssh... ..the File mdules.conf is totally scrambled, somtimes rc.config as well. ALSAconf detects my soundchip as 'Awacs' makes some entries in modules.conf but when it wants to start the sound driver .... Same as Yast2 see above.
Has anyone got a running soundsyste on a PowerMac G3 B&W ? Do you know what to do?
I will try to reproduce and fix it, our G4 with G3 motherboard crashed as well. You could use 'modprobe dmasound_pmac' for the time being. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
