during bootup concerning sound came first with the new kernel (something about

can you do a 'dmesg' and find any lines which have "dmasound" in them?
Or... are you using sound as modules?
I assume you are using Ben's binary (pre10-ben2)?

I did a back-port of the 2.4.0-test4 dmasound stuff to 2.2.17pre10-ben2
(will check on pre13-ben1 later):
http://www.drfruitcake.com/linux/linuxppc.html

I guess the dmasnd-v2a.patch is the file to get ? Hmmm, is there also a Binary
Version available somewhere ? I do not have the latest Kernel Source on my
machine
and would like to avoid having to download it if possible...

OK - I'll do it later (just this once :-) I don't want to as a general rule
- because I have to pay for download bandwidth -- if there's a general move
for people to want to download binaries - I'll have to beg some space on an
ftp server...

I can't just send you the binaries for the modules - because they wouldn't
load against an un-patched 2.2.17pre10.

BTW: Note about this page: at the start there is written
"PowerMac/Amiga/Atari/etc."
There is no such thing as a PowerAtari... there is a PowerAmiga, yes... but no
PowerAtari... Atari never got rid of the 68k CPU Architecture...
(and never, never name Amiga and Atari in one sentence :) )

OK, OK, maybe I wasn't clear ==> the dmasound stuff has bits for several
machines including some of the 68k ones...

Having said that, I would expect your machine to work - I think it's an
AWACS sound chip of some variety?  If it has a DACA you'll have to wait..
:-(

No clue what soundchip... it is a out-of-the-box "Blue/White" G3 Mac 1st
Revision...

You can find this using "Display Name Registry" on the apple side [it's
available on the Apple web site IIRC] look under davbus:sound.

- or by looking in the /proc/device-tree on the linux side (I hope -
although, of course, this could be the root of the problem :).

I just checked the message. I was wrong about the DMA stuff... sorry...
it reads

modprobe: can't locate module sound
rc.sysinit: Loading Sound module failed

Sounds as if the module is missing... but I installed the modules
exactly how I found them on the site... and the kernel and system.map
also...

It may be missing, but most likely it is compiled directly into the kernel.
Ben does that usually.

Well, same here...

Ah :)

Not sure if I know what you mean...

Well, I found the /proc/device-tree... what to look for there ? There are
a lot of files and directories...
