Hardware gurus: new computer doesn't see SB Live!

yodermk

Hi,

Just moved a Sound Blaster Live Value from an Athlon 700 to a dual P3 850 with 2GB RAM. It is not showing up in /proc/pci nor lspci.

I am using nearly the exact same kernel config as I was on the Athlon -- I just copied the .config over and changed nothing but the CPU and HighMem support (and IDE chipset, I think).

This computer used to be a server so I had the BIOS set for that. But I just went through it and didn't see anything that would obviously be blocking the sound card.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you try to move the card to a different pci slot? That has solved hardware issues (for me) sometimes.

Have you set the correct options for SMP computers?

In the kernel. I think you should set

Processor Type And Features -> Symmetric multi-processing support

at least

ah, yes I meant I *did* do that in the kernel. SMP works just fine. Was just wondering if you knew of any SB card settings related to SMP.
