Topic: Hammerfall + pci expresscard on Ubuntu 10.04

I can't get this card working on ubuntu.

My computer is a Hp Pavilion dv6

I have Ubuntu 10.04

I've tried on Ubuntu 8.04 and I got it working writting on terminal: "sudo modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1"

But in ubuntu 10.04 there's no way; I've edited /etc/default/grub file
so it appears as: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force=1"

Now the card seems to be recognized, the red led it's turned off, but when i write dmesg:

dmesg|grep pciehp

When I try to run "hdsploader":
hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : HDA ATI SB at 0xf2400000 irq 16
Card 1 : HDA ATI HDMI at 0xf2310000 irq 19

There's no RME card found.

Can someone help me, please?

Re: Hammerfall + pci expresscard on Ubuntu 10.04

I use a hdsp card on top of ubuntu 10.04 as well.

All I did was on top of a clean install was install the following packages: alsa-firmware-loaders and alsa-tools-gui.
Then I removed pulseaudio.  Works very well.

when I run lsmod you can see the module loaded.

snd_mixer_oss          16107  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                87248  2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc          8500  2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep               6778  1 snd_hdsp
snd_seq_dummy           1782  0
snd_seq_oss            31027  0
snd_seq_midi            5829  0
snd_rawmidi            23116  2 snd_hdsp,snd_seq_midi
snd_seq_midi_event      7267  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi
