Hi, the kernels I have up to and including
kernel-2.6.14-1.1696_FC5.i686.rpm
have isa modules for sound cards
(like mine - kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko s4236),
but starting with kernel-2.6.14-1.1707_FC5.i686.rpm, the only isa sound module
I see is kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb-common.ko.
Will I need to roll my own modules from here on out, is there some other
module that should be a superset of the isa functionality, do I need to
reconfigure something?
The sound still works with the old kernel versions, so yes, my speakers work, etc...
As of 2.6.14-1.1703_FC5, CONFIG_ISA was turned off. Not sure
why this didn't make it into the changelog.
The rationale is to start pruning out some of those drivers
that aren't used by anything any more, such as 3c501, AdLib, and
other antiquities.
