HI Marius,
I got similar errors... I was never able to get the OSS RME driver to
load
via /etc/modules.conf for some reason, nor to get "modprobe" to
resolve
the dependencies. Instead, I put the lines,
insmod soundcore insmod rme96xx
right in /etc/rc.local (under RedHat 7.0 and 7.1). This is for the
PCI
version of rme96xx; I don't know if this will work for the PCMCIA
version
or not...
cheers Miller
My guess is that this is because older kernels (up to 2.4, including some of the 2.4 ones) have had problem with allocating non-fragmented 16MB pagefile for the driver (required by the RME) due to having already fragmented memory at the time of insmoding the driver (the same thing is with Alsa driver) which happened rather late on those kernels. Newer ones would simply require a reboot, while older ones (I am assuming yours is) insmod-ed stuff too late in the boot process.
