Hallo! When I don't have plugged in my RME at bootup, I have sometimes the problem, that hdsploader is not able to upload the firmware onto the device: holzi@holzi:~$ hdsploader hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0x34000000, irq 9 Upload firmware for card hw:0 Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:0 : Input/output error. Card 1 : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem at 0x2400, irq 9 I searched a little bit and found this tip from Esben: http://lalists.stanford.edu/lau/2006/05/0436.html - which also works for me ... So my question, is there also a way to get hdsploader working without plugging out/in the card ? (and without a reboot) Thanks, LG Georg
