Thanks Frans! I had seen to stuff under points 0-3 before, but the "-with-cards" thing was new to me and made all the difference. Can't see this documented in the INSTALL file! Maybe I'm blind. The other thing I had to do to make it work was to switch off DEVFS. Despite inserting the required lines in devfs.conf - modprobe failed. Reboot with devfs off, run snddevices and all systems are go. Despite it working though, I still get lots of messages at boot for modules I don't really want anyway (and am obviously not using). Here's a sample: May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/isa/snd-cmi8330.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/isa/snd-dt0197h.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/isa/snd-opl3sa2.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/isa/snd-sgalaxy.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/isa/wavefront/snd-wavefront.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/synth/emux/snd-emux-synth.o May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.o Also later in /var/log/messages: May 23 15:57:43 daw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81 May 23 15:58:27 daw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 May 23 15:58:27 daw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 May 23 15:58:27 daw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 and more. My modules.conf now looks like this: alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 above snd-ice1712 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Can anyone suggest how to get rid of all this garbage? OK, it's working, but it's always disturbing to have error messages zooming past during the boot. thanks again!
