Hi, I'm running SuSE 9.3 on a DELL Inspiron 8500 notebook with all updates applied with fou4s.
This kernel update broke sound:
nimrodel:~ # rcalsasound start Starting sound driver: intel8x0FATAL: Error inserting snd_intel8x0 (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.9-default/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
tailf /var/log/kernel:
Sep 3 14:39:54 nimrodel kernel: snd_intel8x0: Unknown parameter `joystick' Sep 3 14:39:54 nimrodel kernel: load_module: err 0xfffffffe (dont worry)
Despite that "dont worry" sound doesn't work :-/
/etc/modprobe.d/sound:
options snd-intel8x0 enable=1 index=0 joystick=0
(had joystick=1, changed to 0, no efect).

sound modules are default suse version plus YOU updates only.
I will have to revert to kernel-default-2.6.11.4-21.8.i586.rpm :-(
You can remove the "joystick=0" parameter altogether.
Its strange, I thought we did not change the snd_intel8x0 module in this update.
--> I have no problem with the sound module snd_intel8x0. The only thing I had problems with were the permissions of /dev/dsp. They were root:audio 644 but I needed to change this to root:audio 666 (xmms produced an errror message ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): Permission denied Bye, Armin -- Am Hasenberg 26 office: Institut für Atmosphärenphysik D-18209 Bad Doberan Schloss-Straße 6 Tel. ++49-(0)38203/42137 D-18225 Kühlungsborn / GERMANY Email: schoech@iap-kborn.de Tel. +49-(0)38293-68-102 WWW: http://armins.cjb.net/ Fax. +49-(0)38293-68-50
