Finally got the kernal to compile. I had to go "make monfig" and step through that and away it went. Now during boot It says SB16 installed or some such. My next question is how can I test to see if it is working. I turned on sound to games that had sound under redhat and now nothing. I long to hear Linus. Where is the sound demo????? Thanks a million. Jerome Krough wrote:

Set-up sound with menuconfig first then use xconfig if you need to. In menuconfig there is an option for "old style" setup or something similar or along those lines, say yes and jump through the rest of the hoops, save and exit, you'll be asked if you want to save. Then you can use xconfig for the rest and to double check your sound setup.

I have a genuine soundblaster 16. When trying to recompile the kernal for sound it says "Error, you will need to configure the soundcard with SOUND_CONFIGURATION option. What gives? After error no zImage file shows up and I am afraid to go on from here. Thanks for all the help.
