Greetings! To get my USB memory stick to work(Some of you may remember my past post on the subject), I had to upgrade to the 2.4.25 kernel. I finally managed to get it to work. I wish I could tell you exactly what options are necessary to get the thing to work. At one point, I managed to crash the system by compiling support directly into the kernel. Anyway, with the new kernel built, I want to get sound working. What are the suggestions from the community? The latest ALSA release is 1.03. This is a higher release than what came with the 8.2 distro. What is the best way to proceed? Should I remove any ALSA RPMs and install from the sources? should I just install the new package and incur the RPM gods' wrath? Thanks for any suggestions. Chris...

You can get updated alsa packages via packman.links2linux.org for 8.2. They work well. I am running it with a 2.6.4 kernel on an 8.2 machine.

No.

ALSA comes in several packages. What version of the kernel drivers does your kernel use? I would update your older ALSA packages from packman (rpm -Uvh) and make sure you correct the options statement in your modules.conf, they changed syntax after .9.3. Actually, assuming the kernel version is newer than .9.3, changing modules.conf may be all that is necessary to get it working, but I would also upgrade. 1.0.3 works well here. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
