Briefly, sound-slot-0 is the kernels "generic" name for a sound card module. Its like "eth0" for ethernet cards. See Debian University for a complete rundown on modules: http://www.xnet.com/~darogers/debian_university.txt.
What this message says is that the kernel is looking for a sound card to load, there isn't one currently loaded, and nothing is aliased to sound-slot-0. You could try adding "alias sound-slot-0 es1370" to your /etc/modutils/some_sound_setup_file but if you get this message when es1370 is already loaded, then I don't think that will do any good. I have a sneaking suspicion that your es1370 module got hosed somehow. If I were in your shoes, I'd look for a way to replace the existing module with an original. dar On Fri, 15 Dec 2000, Ron Hale-Evans wrote: > I'm unable to get my SB PCI64 (es1370) card to play.
