  I was wondering if anyone could help me to get the
midi working
 on my hammerfall multiface, at least with PD.
 My laptop\'s description, along with .config file, can be found at:
 
http://www.aproximation.org/application/AMD64laptop.html
 2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3 kernel
 AMD64 laptop
  
I am also unable to get my Multiface working on an Opteron system using
the PCI card as the interface to the Multiface. I have tried several
kernels, and several alsa builds. I'm currently using a kernel from the
Fedora 3 test series, 2.6.9-1.640, and alsa 1.0.7RC2, including
alsa-firmware and hdsploader.
It seems the system identifies the device correctly:
lspci includes:
03:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall
DSP (rev 0a)
lsmod |grep snd yields:
snd_hdsp               57037  0
snd_rawmidi            29413  1 snd_hdsp
snd_seq_device         10573  1 snd_rawmidi
snd_pcm_oss            59257  0
snd_mixer_oss          21313  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm               109769  2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              28617  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc         12881  2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep              12105  1 snd_hdsp
snd                    62089  8
snd_hdsp,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep
soundcore              12257  1 snd
However, aconnect -li doesn't see it:
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No
such file or directory
can't open sequencer
Furthermore, if I stop alsa and run hdsploader by hand, I get a kernel
oops and the system, which is otherwise very stable, becomes unstable
and requires a reboot.
