It looks as if you don't have all the modules installed properly and/or alsa is expecting a different kernel or kernel options. I haven't used alsa in a while but when I did, I used these scripts (RedHat) to compile/install. http://galis.org/scripts/alsa-INSTALL.sh http://galis.org/scripts/alsa-driver-0.5.11.sh http://galis.org/scripts/alsa-lib-0.5.10b.sh http://galis.org/scripts/alsa-utils-0.5.10.sh notice especially what's happening at the end of alsa-driver-0.5.11.sh do you know how to apply module aliases you put in /etc/modutils/arch/i386? btw update-rc.d on Debian is similar to the RH chkconfig command. // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
