My LUG has had a machine donated with a PC Chips M805LR Motherboard (info
here http://www.eurocomla.com/m805lr.htm) I have to get it working to
stream our meetings with realserver. as such I cannot use the new 2.4
kernels with it since Realserver won't work with them. I am having
trouble with the kernel drivers for its onboard sound card. I have
compiled the driver for the VIA 82C686 and I can get sound, but it will
not recognize the line-in port. If I use a 2.4 kernel on the machine then
it works fine, but I can't run the realserver with it. Is this a known
issue with the VIA drivers in the 2.2.xx (i am using 2.2.18)? if so is
there a work around for it? Any info would be helpful.
thanks,

It isn't so much failing as it hangs. I don't know if you have used it
or not. On a startup of the realserver under a 2.2 kernel here is the
output:
*****************************************************************

it then goes on to load libs and stuff. Under a 2.4 kernel it gets to the
"Testing 1 CPU(s)" Line and just stops there and sits. I have tried it on
3 different machines and 5 different installs, all with the same results.

It might be interesting to strace the realserver startup
both under 2.2 and 2.4 -

Here you go. Also sorry Alan for such a goofy email earlier. Does anyone
have any ideas on the sound driver issue?
