In my last mail I said I give up on the idea of installing kernel 2.6.7 in Slackware10 since I could not produce any sound and programs like kppp took twice as long to load than with 2.4.26 and dma could not be turned on. Now as per your advice I had one last try and behold there is now sound and same loading speed for kppp as in 2.4.26 and dma is turned on. My chipset is of VIA Technologies. Since make xconfig gives an error with 2.6.7 I am using menuconfig in which I have a hard time finding things like VIA. So I went into .../linux/.config searched for VIA82xxx set them to =y then make, cat bzImage > vmliz, lilo and there it was. Except the sound is very faint and I have to make aumix -L first to have full sound. No problem I put that into .profile. Apparently the setting is lost when shutting down unlike in 2.4.26. On boot I still get the error meassge: FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found. FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss not found.
