David, A few things:
1) You say things like "I ran Sound Card Detection". That is not anything any of us can "run" since you didn't give either a) the actual program name or b) where you found it on the RedHat menu. Not enough information. 2) Whenever you see messages about modprobe and block-major, look in /usr/src/*/Documentation/devices.txt. This will tell you what type of device is unhappy, which will give you a clue as to what docs to read (which will invariably end up with you putting something in /etc/modules.conf which associates a driver with the block-major device). 3) Google searches (http://www.google.com/linux) and reading http://www.tldp.org are always your *first* choices, before posting. In particular, you need to have a look at the sound howto at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO/index.html. However, most of these manual steps are taken care of by the installer or configuration programs (eg. sndconfig, redhat-config-soundcard). The information will still be helpful to you, however, for debugging problems. LOTS of reading is required with Linux! 4) Running an older version (RH8) and doing weird things (non-clean reinstalls, upgrades, etc) are a sure way to make your situation completely unique and therefore nobody here will recognize your symptoms. 5) As a courtesy, please trim out the unnecessary original message text when you're replying, rather than let your e-mailer tack it all on at the end. ~gb -- Greg Bell -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
