2.6 and sound, ymfpci

[Michael P. Soulier]

    Hey people,

    Under 2.4, I just load up the ymfpci module and my sound works
great. Under 2.6, I can't get it working. I've tried both the alsa and
oss versions. 
    I can't seem to get a simple ymfpci.o module built with any of the
options. Selecting that card type under alsa builds a snd-ymfpci.ko
module (what's the 'ko'??), and oss builds ymfpci.ko. I've tried loading
both, and /dev/dsp just doesn't work properly. 
    Did something seriously change in 2.6?

    Cheers,
    Mike

I have

CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m

CONFIG_SOUND=y
..
CONFIG_SOUND_YMFPCI=m
CONFIG_SOUND_YMFPCI_LEGACY=y

in my .config, and this seems to work for me
(Sony Picturebook C1VFK) with linux-2.6.0 under Fedora Core 1.
Of course this may not work for you.

No, unfortunately not. The reason appears to be that irq 9, where my
sound chip is, is being disabled by the kernel. 

irq 9: nobody cared!
Call Trace:

[<c88828a0>] (yenta_interrupt+0x0/0x40 [yenta_socket])
Disabling IRQ #9

I have no idea why it's doing this. Works fine under 2.4.
