Hi Marshall, I think you would enjoy and benefit greatly from 'man modprobe' and 'man depmod' to understand better the dynamic loading and unloading of modules in Linux. The "- r" flag was meant to unload the snd-emu10k1* modules that, in theory, were still loaded and preventing YaST from configuring the card. That was just a guess on my part and it's moot, anyway, since it appears the modules aren't loading at boot now. In any event, it appears your problem is a known hardware/module specific bug. I don't have that hardware so I can't really help you with it. The good news is you are in extremely excellent and competent hands with Anders paying attention (grovel grovel!) :-) If he can't help you overcome this, it's time to buy a new mainboard! Good luck & regards, - Carl
