The newest version of Alsa should fix sound issues. Did to my SB live!, however that may not mean much to anyone out there with lesser known cards though... Matt On Saturday 17 February 2001 08:26 pm, Steven T. Hatton wrote:

No, it was no problem at all. 2.2.18 was already selected, so I selected 2.4 as well.

Eh? You can install both kernels? Doesn't that mess up modutils and the like? How stable is that?
Jonathan,
This may or may not be a problem. If the modules for the different kernels will work off the same parameters in /etc/modules.conf things should be harmonious. Each kernel version has its own /lib/modules/<kernel-id> directory. The only reason I did not stay with the 2.4.2-pre3 I built is because I couldn't figure out how to get the sound working in a SuSE compatable way. This is a large part of the reason I suggested the 'Jugling Knives' book. (My vision is a picture of that krazy Kameleon all bandaged up, knives in hand, getting ready to try it once again.)
As for the problems Ben experienced, I can't say too much. I was already trying to fix a problem with my X restarting. So I didn't have a known good system to start with.
