[if it doesn't, it is probably a starfire bug]
No, it's not a bug but thank you for this tip. It's just a put-on limitation in the driver itself:
--- starfire.c~ Fri Apr 20 18:48:05 2001 +++ starfire.c Fri Apr 20 18:27:20 2001 @@ -308,7 +308,7 @@ void (*resume)(struct pci_dev *dev); /* Device woken up */ }; -#define PCI_MAX_MAPPINGS 16 +#define PCI_MAX_MAPPINGS 32 static struct pci_driver_mapping drvmap [PCI_MAX_MAPPINGS] = { { NULL, } , }; #define __devinit __init This cures my problem. I've checked this and it seems as if Ion copied this from the sound/emu10k1/emu_wrapper.c code, where I understand that nobody will have more then 16 times the same soundcard. Ion, do I break something with this? If not, could you please adjust your driver?
Thanks to all of you for your help. I learned a lot today. Roberto Nibali, ratz
