HPnx9110 and debian problems

#1 Post by Guest »

I just installed debian unstable on a HP nx9110 laptop. Everything works great, except that alsa has problems configuring the sound card if I have the ethernet cableplugged in! If the cable is plugged in right from bootup, then cat /proc/asound/cards says 'No cards found' and I cannot play sounsd at all. However, If i connect the ethernet cable after the alsa init script has run, then I'm fine, and everything works well and good.
The card is ATI IXP 150. I am running the 2.6.5 kernel, but the problem exists even with the 2.6.7 kernel. Also, when I run xmms from the shell I get an message saying IRQ #5 disabled. But xmms runs fine after that. I dont know if that has anything to do with the above issue.Any help would be appreciated.

Try installing discover and libdiscover2, it resolves automatically all modules you need, perhaps it can manage irq's for you.

Code: Select all

apt-get install discover libdiscover2
