So I've just installed Fedora Core 1 and my sound isn't working. Tried everything I could in terms of distro-specific means to get it working, no dice. Someone mentions that I should install ALSA.

So I install ALSA just like

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Cirrus+Logic&card=CS4236B&chip=CS4236B&module=cs4236

tells me to. Go to reboot my machine and it freezes. Can't do anything. Hit the power button. Reboot, log in, freezes again. Hit the power button. Reboot, log into failsafe terminal, edit out the line containind cs4236 in /etc/modules.conf, exit, and boot back into gnome without a problem.

Search around on irc and google, and get shown the wiki page. Check my ACPI. Its already disabled. Try using some various options, but I'm fairly new to linux and don't know what I'm doing. Still freezes. Every time the system does a modprobe for that module, system freezes. I uninstall the rpms, re-download them, and install them again. System still freezes.

Its a Dell Optiplex GX1. Here are the specs:

Looks like I'm using the right driver. Triple checked to make sure it was the right alsa version for the kernel that comes with fedora core 1. I don't know what to do. Anyone got any advice?

The sound card is an isapnp device, but that's about all the information I know. I'm a linux newbie, so please go easy.

Thanks,

- Matthew
