Your system is using udev, which causes /dev to actually be a non-persistent tmpfs filesystem. You can force the /sbin/start_udev script to create the /dev/dsp node when it runs at startup by creating a text file under /etc/udev/makedev.d called, say, "99-local.nodes", and putting the word "dsp" in it on a line by itself. That said, most sound devices should be automatically detected by the kernel/udev machinery, so you shouldn't need to do this if the card can be detected at all. What sort of sound device is it, anyway? Reassigning to "udev" to get some more feedback. I understand what you mean by udev controlled -- will research that end. About the Sound Card: Something about a "screamer" but I will post the exact info Wednesday. Also, see: http://www.lowendmac.com/macdan/05/0202.html The sound card shows up as a PMac Screamer most times I reboot -- not real sure why its intermittent... Rather than attach a ton of screen shots and other files, I uploaded the whole mess to my server at - http://www.insecurity.org/pmac_screamer/ is this the same as bug #176761 ?? Yes, generally -- except I cannot use ALSA -- I end up manually getting OSS working (non-threaded.) I guess I should have tagged along off that bug. Sorry. Hey Bill. Is this still happening with fc6/devel? Or was it solved when #176761 was solved? Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] I have no idea, I switched to Intel and I am already at Rawhide 7. I'm sure that if Apple sees no future in PPC why should the Fedora project spend valuable resources in it? Maybe we can focus on the future - like a laptop for every kid and possibly the Cell Broadband Processor? |
