The package alsa-base comes with the file /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base I guess that if that file doesn't take care of your problems with getting hotplug to leave out OSS modules then you should bug report. >The second is /etc/discover.conf add a skip line for your OSS module >(in my case it was "skip i810_audio") Ah, cool. I removed the discover package to get my ALSA working. This would have been a cleaner solution. >This should prevent the system from discovering it as well as prevent >hotplug from loading it later in the bootup process. These two packages seem to overlap, don't they? Hotplug is pulled in due to udev and seems to do a bit of discovery, what is left for discover to do? (My system seems to work just fine with only hotplug + udev.) Will there be more magic is both are installed? One other note. I recently had a problem with hotplug and ALSA, this was due to hotplug thinking that I needed the snd_usb_audio module inserted. I haven't got a clue why it all of a sudden started thinking that! Adding it to the blacklist took care of the problem. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://magnus.therning.org/ "Sendmail" and "make" are two well known programs that are pretty widely regarded as being debugged into existence.
