hello

i'm trying to get my rme hammerfall going on ubuntu 8.04. it was working before but i tried to upgrade to 9.04 and, with all the realtime kernel / sata disk problems, i decided go to back to 8.04.

anyways...

the card is not recognized on start up (red host light stays on). when i run hdsploader i get the following:

hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : HDA Intel at 0xfbff8000 irq 22

so, does this mean that not even the pci card is being recognized or what?

i've installed the following alsa files by hand from the alsa site:

alsa-driver-1.0.21
alsa-lib-1.0.21a
alsa-firmware-1.0.20

and from synaptic the following:
alsa-firmware-loaders 1.0.15
alsa-tools-gui 1.0.15

this is all running on a pentium machine with asus p5q motherboard.

ubuntu 8.04

kernel: 2.6.24-24-rt

thanks in advance for any help on this!
