Description Isaiah Weiner 2001-09-27 04:13:31 UTC
Description of problem:
This is for Cisco - we need a resolution for this, 7.1 will be supported 
here for a while to come, even when 7.2 is deployed in a month or so.  
Essentially, the sound card isn't being autodetected and configured during 
kudzu -q after installation, and it needs to be.  Let me know how I can 
facilitate this being resolved.

lspci -v:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown evice 2445 
(rev
 04)
        Subsystem: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 00d8
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
        I/O ports at cc40 [size=64]

lspci -vn:

00:1f.5 Class 0401: 8086:2445 (rev 04)
        Subsystem: 1028:00d8
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
        I/O ports at cc40 [size=64]

    After booting, sndconfig handles it fine and puts the appropriate
information in /etc/modules.conf:

alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L /dev/null 
2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S /dev/null 
2>&1 || :


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On this machine, every mode of installation fails to auto-configure the 
device.


Actual Results:  The sound device was not automagically configured.

Expected Results:  Like the rest of the sound cards used at Cisco that are 
supported, kudzu -q populates the right information in the right places 
and everything is happy for the user.

Additional info:

We are using kickstart as the primary method of installation; these are 
new Dell Precision machines, some are preproduction, some aren't; the PCI 
IDs are not different between the machines however.  Just a i810 onboard 
chip.  Here's the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf entry:

class: AUDIO
bus: PCI
detached: 0
driver: i810_audio
desc: "Intel Corporation|82820 820 (Camino 2) AC'97 Audio"
vendorId: 8086
deviceId: 2445
subVendorId: 1028
subDeviceId: 00d8
pciType: 1

It *should* be working in 7.1. What does 'kudzu -p -c audio' say?

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-10-22 20:39:54 UTC
OK, turns out boot & install kernels were different versions.
