[linux-audio-user] Errors loading ALSA for HDSP

I'm attempting to get my musical activities squared away on a new dual Opteron system. I'm currently running single processor with the (almost stock) Fedora Core 2 kernel, 2.6.8-1.541. I have alsa 1.06a (including the tools) installed. I compiled these from the CCRMA sources. All the modules appear to be loaded: snd_seq 80832 0 snd_hdsp 68492 0 snd_rawmidi 30116 1 snd_hdsp snd_seq_device 9356 2 snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 127116 1 snd_hdsp snd_timer 36104 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 10760 1 snd_hdsp snd 70664 7 snd_seq,snd_hdsp,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep soundcore 10593 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11024 2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm However, I cannot start alsa: service alsasound start Starting sound driver snd-hdsp [ OK ] Starting sequencer [ OK ] Restoring sound driver settings /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found... [FAILED] If I run hdsploader I get either no message, or perhaps a message about an inability to access a certain memory range. Of course, as I write this message, I can't seem to get that error up. 'll try and capture that message in a followup, in case this is at all helpful. Needless to say, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion that will resolve this. --
