[2.5.67] SB-AWE32 + ALSA: "snd_sbawe: falsely claims to have parameter pnp"

Hi,

just compiled the new 2.5.67 kernel.
Everything seems to be (surprisingly) fine, with one exception:
I have a ISA SoundBlaster AWE32 card, it worked perfectly with 2.4.X and alsa 0.9.x.
I selected the following options when compiling:

---
#
# Plug and Play support
#
CONFIG_PNP=y
CONFIG_PNP_NAMES=y
# CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG is not set

#
# Protocols
#
CONFIG_ISAPNP=y
# CONFIG_PNPBIOS is not set

#
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=m

#
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
#
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
# CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set
# CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set

#
# Generic devices
#
CONFIG_SND_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI=m
# CONFIG_SND_MTPAV is not set
# CONFIG_SND_SERIAL_U16550 is not set
CONFIG_SND_MPU401=m

#
# ISA devices
#
[...]
CONFIG_SND_SBAWE=m
CONFIG_SND_SB16_CSP=y

OSS is completely disabled.
My /etc/modules.d/alsa (using Gentoo) looks as follows:

---
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd major=116 cards_limit=1

alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
---

All sound related modules load correctly, with the exception of snd_sbawe:

FATAL: Error inserting snd_sbawe (/lib/modules/2.5.67/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sbawe.ko): Invalid argument

The output of dmesg explains the "invalid argument":

---
[...]
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
pnp: SB audio device quirk - increasing port range
pnp: AWE32 quirk - adding two ports
isapnp: Card 'Creative SB AWE32 PnP'
isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total [...]
snd_sbawe: falsely claims to have parameter pnp
snd_sbawe: falsely claims to have parameter pnp
snd_sbawe: falsely claims to have parameter pnp
---

Any hints what I should do now?

Thanks in advance,
Artjom

Hi again,

I just wanted to inform people having the same problem, just update the /usr/src/linux/sound and /usr/src/linux/sound/include subdirs with the files in the alsa-kernel module in alsa CVS.

Thanks to Ruslan U. Zakirov from the ALSA-dev list.
