but this time no sound or fat support, sant access my fat32 slave

back at it again.... i enable vfat to, i rechecked in "make menuconfig"
under filesystems --->
DOS/FAT/NT --->
<*> VFAT

i tried it from 2.6.8-11-686 source, dunno what happened

Well, I see the sound modules still loaded. And if you built in vfat, you should be able to access that partition. I would build in ext3 as well, by the way.

i know i'm missing something here i just for the life of me see it :/


when i try to access the drive now i get

Code:
debian:/home/nexus# mount /dev/hdb1 /media/win/  
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

so i dot what it says...



Code:
debian:/home/nexus#  dmesg | tail 
    speed:           100
    autonegotiation: yes
    duplex mode:     full
    flowctrl:        symmetric
    irq moderation:  disabled
    scatter-gather:  enabled
Unable to load NLS charset iso8859-1
FAT: IO charset iso8859-1 not found
Unable to load NLS charset iso8859-1
FAT: IO charset iso8859-1 not found
hmmm maybe i need to chage the charset for fat?
i left it as default

Code:
      (437) Default codepage for FAT                                            x x  
  x x                                   (iso8859-1) Default iocharset for FAT
sorry for the long post.... just a little stumped

i'm getting pretty fast at kernel compiles on the plus side

EDIT:

ok a whole lot a googling gave me some info
apparently its somethign to do with native language support
so i checked....

Code:

Try adding that codepage 437 into your compile. Your sound card, though the title is different from mine, appears in exactly the same place. (I'm on a 2.6.12 kernel), so it should be working. Do you get any sound errors, or just not hear anything?

I think fat support will be working once i finish the compile. i enabled

Code:
x x                  < >   Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)
which i should have seen before :/

i checked the asus website and they call it ALC850, i thought it was i810 for some reason...
as for errors, xmms gives me

Code:
Please check that:
 your sound card is configured properly
ctrl+alt+f1 shows me an error on opening

Code:
nexus@debian:~$ xmms
libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

trying to just press play gives me...

thats every option in there. The only one i have load is <*> Intel i8x0/MX440, SiS 7012; Ali 5455; NForce Audio; AMD768/8111
which worked in 26.8.-2 i dunno whats diggerent in 2.6.8-11
I did read the readme and readme.debian, neither mention any removal of sound devices.

i did check xmms's options/preferences to see what was listed. There are only 4 Audion !/O Plugins / input plugins
1) CD audio
2) MPEG Layer 1/2/3
3) Tone Generator
4) Wave Player



EDIT:

ummm i think i see something in menuconfig that was nt enabled...

Code:
 <*> OSS Mixer API
               < > OSS PCM (digital audio) API
i see OSS PCM under help is /dev/dsp
this wouldnt happen to be the issue would it??

I wouldn't worry about OSS (I don't use it at all), but you need to make sure the "Output Plugin" in XMMS's preferences is set to the ALSA output plugin.

Hrrm, really odd. All the modules for sound and alsa (if built as modules) are loaded?
Do you see anything sound-related in /dev? (i.e., snd*, sound*, dsp, mixer)

I may have asked this before, but couldn't find the answer at a glance in the thread. Are you using udev or devfs? If you aren't certain, just do 'ps -ef | grep dev'.

Or old school dev nodes. *shudders*

Try taking a look at this article:
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/alsa.html

Especially make sure you have the module aliases and so forth properly configured.

Also, does 'dmesg | grep 8x0' show anything?

Code:
dmesg | grep 8x0
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49561 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
i'll look at the link above thanks

btw: what does that command tell you?



EDIT:

found an interseting secontion in that article

Quote:
The discover1 pacakage tries to figure out what hardware you have and load the modules for them. Very nice. Except that it loads the OSS sound modules. To prevent it from doing this, add the line:
skip i810_audio

to the file /etc/discover.conf. Put the name of the OSS module for your sound card in place of i810_audio. (You can probably figure this out by perusing the output if lsmod.)
i dont know what module is to be loaded though...

lsmod gives me lots to choose from


Code:
nexus@debian:~$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_pcm_oss            49864  0 
snd_mixer_oss          17536  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_intel8x0           31244  1 
snd_ac97_codec         66788  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm                86056  2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0
snd_timer              21252  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          9032  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
gameport                3552  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_mpu401_uart         6112  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi            20132  1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device          6440  1 snd_rawmidi
snd                    46532  9 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore               7488  2 snd

i'm starting to think i should stay with a stock kernel...
