emu10k1 fails to load after kernel rebuild

Hi; I've been running SuSE 8.0 for some time now with no problems with my sound blaster PCI 512. I did a rebuild of the default kernel (with a few options changed) and now during startup the emu10k1 fails to load. I selected the option in the kernel to load the driver but that failed to work. I downloaded the latest emu10ki files from source force and followed the instructions in there (including turning the option off in the kernel) and that failed. Please help. Thanks. Also, From what I've read it seems that there are a few problems associated with sound blaster and linux. Maybe I should look for a more linux friendly card:-) -- --------- Darren Harmon http://www.darrenharmon1.uklinux.net
