sndconfig will dump core (seg fault) if the kernel doesn't have pci support linked in. The fix is a one-line change: oops, this patch is backwards, but I can't get another diff -u generated until tomorrow. You can see it's a simple fix, though; it just doesn't detect the -1 return from the pciProbeDevice, so it needs to check n<1 instead of the erroneous !n. --- pnpconf.c Sat Jan 23 23:05:16 1999 +++ pnpconf.c- Sat Jan 23 23:05:03 1999 @@ -305,7 +305,7 @@ int i,n; n = pciProbeDevice(PCI_AUDIO, &devs); - if (n<1) { + if (!n) { return -1; } /* We don't support more than one card anywhere else; */
This can be worked around by running sndconfig with '--noprobe' (of course, that turns off the isapnp probe as well.) Fixed in sndconfig-0.29-5.
