I just spent a day screwing around with this as well with 6 new computers we got here, all with SB 128 PCI cards. I couldn't get the kernel driver to work, so I installed the alsa-modules,alsaconf,and alsa-utils packages, downgraded the kernel from 2.2.14 to 2.2.13 (apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.13), edit my /etc/lilo.conf, ran lilo. I then ran alsaconf, and rebooted. Upon reboot, you should see a whole load of modules loaded. I'm at home right now, but if you send me mail on Monday morning, I can send you my output of lsmod if you want. I had many troubles trying to duplicate this on the other machines. On some of them I ended up copy /etc, /lib/modules, and /boot. This got it working, and wasn't a horrible solution as I had just mirrored all the hard drives the day before. These machines are sweet: PIII-550's, 256MB RAM, Voodoo 3, sb 128 PCI, the are many times faster than what I had before! I hope that gives you some light, let me know how you make out or if you have any problems, so I don't spend time that you have spent doing the same thing. Later, Wim Kerkhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
