Bug Description
I have recently purchased the new Shuttle XPC SN25P barebone PC for AMD64 CPUs
(nForce4 chipset, Socket 939 ;
http://
SN25P is equipped with an onboard sound card of type VIA Envy24PT multi-channel
audio controller (VIA VT1720/24 ;
http://
supported in Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog". The correct driver for the sound chip
seems to be "ice1724", but modprobing it results in the following error message:
------------------ snipp --------------
ice1724: Invalid EEPROM (size = 255)
ICE1724: probe of 0000:05:06.0 failed with error -5
------------------ snipp --------------
The problem seems to be that the PCI Product/Vendor ID and/or the Subvendor
PCI-ID is different from what was expected.
A number of Ubuntu users have found a way to fix the problem, which basically
requires you to slightly modify the kernel source to recognize the card by
changing the files /usr/src/
/usr/src/
