Compile sound not into your kernel but as a module. If that isn't enough to get your sound up and running you may need to use isapnptools. First just try sound as a module, that usually does the trick. Jackson Chan wrote:

Hi,

I just installed SUSE 5.0 on a 486 DX4-100 with 8Mb ram and 200Mb HD. I want to recompile the kernel with minimum driver or support including my Gravis UltraSound MAX, but somehow it failed. I believe it is something wrong with the GUS MAX. Anyone using this sound card? And is there any special thing I have to take care before recompiling or is there any thing I have to enable in the kernel for it to work?

Also, since the HD on that machine is very small, only 200Mb, what should I put on that machine? I put that machine up for my dad to surf the net so that the box has to have modem/tcp/ip support with Netscape. Does anyone tried to put stuff on a small machine like that? If so, what is the best package that I should install on it?

Any advice will help. Jackson Chan -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
