Message-ID: <3A120766.D8C85D2C@lightlink.com> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 22:47:50 -0500 From: "Fred A. Miller" <fmiller@lightlink.com> Subject: A real BAD one!! This is the second time that I "blew" my system trying to get the Plextor CDR drive to work. At least NOW I KNOW what the setup, "BY THE BOOK" have a problem with...Alsa!! Modules, principally the 3COM driver for the NIC and the Alsa drivers for the SB PCI 512 audio. Modprobe goes "spastic!!" The only way I could recover was to manually edit modules.conf, commenting out anything to do with sound, undo all the changes I'd made to set up the CDR drive, and reboot. Then use Yast2 to install sound again. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Fred -- If you listen on a quiet night, you can hear the sound of an NT Server reboot.
