So I'm coming to the conclusion that the RME Multiface/dsp hardware
rev. 1.08 hates the ASUS A8N-E motherboard. I get an hwdep ioctl error
no matter how I set up the (limited) bios options and boot options with
Ubuntu dapper 2.6.15.22 or 2.6.15.23 (i386, i686, k7 of each tried).
Yes I got the firmware from alsa, yes the thing is plugged in. what 939
pin (AMD 64x2) motherboards(desktop) have people had sucess with the
RME Multiface on and/or other linux os with asus a8n-e mobo?
Sorry i have no dmesg, lspci etc (though they all seemed to be in fine
shape) as I'm on another system
Thanks

I'm running FC4 CCRMA with the Multiface on a Biostar T-Force 939 with a
Sempron 939. I have to open hdspmixer in order to hear any sound
sometimes. I have recorded 8 simultaneous tracks with Ardour with no
problems. I can run JACK, Ardour, Hydrogen, Zynaddsubfx, Jack-Rack, and
Jamin all at once with no problems (maybe 1 or 2 xruns).
Here's the board I use:

i suspect its a new rev of the firmware not currently supported by the
ALSA driver. this has been a perennial problem and so the ALSA driver
tends to be cautious - rather than work with any firmware by default, it
assumes that if the firmware version is not explicitly listed, it
doesn't work.
however, your reports of an ioctl error suggest something slightly
different. what happens if you boot into windows then warm boot into
linux (no power shutdown to the multiface) ?
ALSA does not distribute the "real firmware". what is handled by ALSA is
what RME call the "io program" and it relies on a particular version of
the actual "firmware" being in place in the PCI interface.
