Hi all I have a Silicon Integrated System SiS7012 sound card, in a SonyVaio grt100, and redhat 9, and my sound card is working, i can change the volume, and the speaker's too, but if i play a sound file it plays just the first second, and then it get's frozen. This modules ar inserted: i810_audio 27720 1 (autoclean) ac97 5088 0 (unused) ac97_codec 13640 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 6404 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] Please help, i need that sound Thanks Julius

Not a problem Stinger, i'm sorry that i don't explain things very well. Now: RawHide is the most updated redhat distribution (exp. epiphany released yesterday the 0.8.2 ver, and today you can download the rpm from the rawhide directory: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ so this version of the redhat is the most updated) now the kernel packages are: kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl.i686.rpm where the i686/i386/athlon are the type of your processor. So, install a redhat9 and then download this kernel and install it with rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl.i686.rpm and run lilo and restart Your box, and select at the boot the new kernel, it will be called: Kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1 i think. After this You sound card shold work, and the mouse too, but if not wait for the redhat 10 release x) Remember: it is faster if You select a mirror and use that as to use the redhat ftp (ti is very busy) http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html Enjoy

Hi Stinger First: there is no RedHat 10 out there, the redhat that You installed is 9.0.93 and is a BETA and we say for not stable releases: "Install in your one risck" so nowhere says that it will work without any problemes, it is a test version, this will become sometimes redhat 10 i think, but right now it is a beta. and about the rpms: i use the rpms from the freshrpms site and other sites that are compiled under redhat 9 and everything works fine for me, it's more stable that redhat 9 (for me) i use gftp too, but for me it newer frozes, i don't know what can be wrong, but i'm sure that it will be resolved in the Official RedHat 10 release ......... I think You can resolve the sound card problem if You just install the new kernel rpm-s from rawhide to the redhat 9 box, and i think it will be stable to. Cheers Julius DONT USE WINDOWS please

Yes, is 9.0.93 but i don't know if they will jump to 10 or not, i hope too that not, i love the numbers < 10 so bether 9.1 than 10

Hi stinger There it is: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/en/iso/i386 if You can't download from here select mirrors from here: http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html and go to the linux/beta/sever/en/iso/i386 directory and download it (3 CDs). Hope helps Julius

What type of mouse do you have? and is gpm runing? and by starting the box have You some errors? have you mouse under console? I will recomand to get a kernel in rpm format, i think that now each kernel that is biger then 2.4.21 will work with the sound card. Try the redhat 10 beta it works. Cheers Julius

i hope You will get the sound to work i was getting creazy without sound :x but now i have it Just a litle thing, You need to compile the Sis7012 as a module and not as a part of the kernel, i don't now if it will work thatway too, but i now that if You compile like a module it will To compile just read the original config file, so You don't need to make any changes in the menuconfig or xconfig, i think You can found it in the /boot directory as config-2.4.20-19.9 and load it by selecting in the make menuconfig "Load alternate config file" (i think), and point to the /boot/config-2.4.20-19.9 (if You have) and save it, and make dep ....... and everything should work fine. I wish You sound 8) Julius

huha i realy don't now it, i use lilo, and i install the kernel with make install, and it does everything for me. I compile the kernel like this: make menuconfig make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install and the make install command creates all my initrd and other things, and writes to the lilo.conf too, mybe it will do the same with the grub just try the make install, i think it will not damage anything if is not working. Julius

hi Stinger Ok, so You need to download the full kernel-2.4.21 and than the patch (http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/snapshots/patch-2.4.21-bk21.bz2) and apply to the kernel. First run gzip -d patch-2.4.21-bk21.bz2 and than go into the kernel directory (kernel-2.4.21) and run the patch like this: patch -p1 < /path/tothe/patch-2.4.21-bk21 Now it should work. If You still have problems, just write, or if You like download the new redhat-beta, it has the new 2.4.21 kernel in it, and it's working fine. Hope helps Julius

RESOLVED I have resolved the problem, (sorry) i just found the solution for this problem, while the problem was resolved by the kernel team THANKS PEOPLES You need to download the latest stable kernel-2.4.21 and apply the 2.4.21-bk15 patch to it, and all will work without any problem. Enjoy I dooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :x 8) 8)

Quote: Threw the model number in google, came up with this link. http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/Staff/tom/SiS7012/ "The SiS7012 patches have now been integrated into the standard linux kernel (version 2.4.18 ). Just enable Intel i810 audio support and everything should work perfectly fine." I dont believe the default RH9 kernel is 2.4.18 I think you need to get the 2.4.18 kernel through the redhat network updater. Might want to make sure to do that before moving ahead. The redhat 9 has the folowing kernel: 2.4.20-8 i think thats a little bit biger then 2.4.18 The problem is that my card is working, and the i810_audio module is loaded, just when i push the play button after the first second my box gets frozen. Hope this means something to You while i don't know what to do. Thanks Julius

Hi all Can anyone help me with setting the resolution to 1400x1050 in the lilo.conf? i don't now the vga code for it, i have a SonyVaio GRT100 with Geforce 4. Please help Thanks Julius

Ok, i have succesfully resolved this problem, You just need to download lfb.exe from this site: http://this.is.not-mediaways.net/but.i.am/flo/t21/ and run it, get the code for Your resolution and enter into the lilo.conf. REMEMBER to add 0x200 to the code that You have get from the lfb.exe like this: for me on the Geforce4 the 1400x1050 is 148h that means 0x148 and You must add 0x200 so You need to enter vga=0x348 in the lilo.conf Enjoy I doooooooo :x
