I'd say it seems you have to load the driver for your chipset first, but apparently this driver is built in your kernel: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -i via82cxxx /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX=m (I started just like you going from a Woody install to testing/unstable)

The 2.4.18 driver is supposed to work for
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT8233, while the 2.4.19 add support for
VT8233/A/C and 2.4.20 and above know about VT8235, so it looks like
you have to upgrade at least to 2.4.19, depending on what you _really_
have.
Try installing one of the kernel-image-2.4.22-* where this driver is
included as a module or try to roll your own.

Cheers,
Flo
