How did you do this (MCC?) and why was it necessary? Is the ENS1317
your onbaord sound card?
I had my midi ports dissapear after moving from
the mm-6 to the
mm-7 kernel in MDK 10.0. For whatever reason the seq modules
were not being loaded in the kernel. Once I inserted them with
modprobe, they were fine.
Hmm. No kernel changes here. The kernel I'm using is my default
one in LILO, and I seldom boot anything other.
Your problem is a little different it seems....did
you change
or alter anything in the time between midi ports showing and
midi ports not showing? It seems the right modules are still
loaded according to your lsmod...
Yes. I turned off the on-board sound. I did that in order to
get the ENS1317 to be recognized at boot-time.
I couldn't get
modules.conf to get those modules loaded. I'm 94.81% positive
that MIDI worked after that change. But, I turned the on-board
sound back on anyway. No change in MIDI behavior. On-board
sound is back off now for ease of loading the ENS1317 modules at
boot-time.
Now if you were 94.825 % sure I'd could prolly help...but since your
only 94.81%... 8~) (Sorry...couldn't resist)
I'd do some Googling on Udev. Lee cites this in a folowing post and
although I'm a MDK user, I'm not familiar with Udev at all. It's a new
thingy. And I think 10.1 is the first release to use it in MDK?
Try looking at your modprobe.conf and seeing if there is anything funky
going on there as a result of turning off your card the first time;
"hard drake" can do some odd things at times in detecting new
hardware...or what it perceives as new.
I'm using a different monitor and a different PS/2
mouse than I
was when MIDI worked. It could be that MIDI was broken before
making these changes; I can't remember. But, I do know that MIDI
hasn't worked ever since changing the monitor and mouse. The
mouse is using the same exact driver as before. The monitor
changed resolution capability. The video card is exactly the
same, as is the video card driver. I could put it back the way
it was, but it would be truly surprising to me if that had any
effect. Your thoughts?
I try not to think and it works for me! Having not thought about
that...let me not think about this; I doubt your mouse or monitor had
bumpkiss to do with anything here but I can only be 94.81% sure about
that. (eh-hem)
