Just a bit of info from my Etch booted with the 2.4.27-2-386 kernel. I couldn't find the module manually, but running, as below finds it. /sbin/modinfo snd-als4000 Last login: Sun Jan 28 21:28:26 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/modinfo snd-als4000 filename: /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/updates/alsa/snd-als4000.o description: "Avance Logic ALS4000" author: "Bart Hartgers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" license: "GPL" parm: index int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Index value for ALS4000 soundcard." parm: id string array (min = 1, max = 8), description "ID string for ALS4000 soundcard." parm: enable int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Enable ALS4000 soundcard." parm: joystick_port int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Joystick port address for ALS4000 soundcard.
