Hi Michel et al: 1) I made the changes Michel suggested (removing CUDA and silly things like floppy support), and now only have one depmod error that isn't bothering me. For the record, 'depmod -ae' says: >depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-pre7-ben0/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/ieee1394.o >depmod: hotplug_path
2) The sound problem was not related. For some reason dmasound_pmac is not autoloading. "modprobe dmasound_pmac" gives me sound. 3) FWIW, Toby compiled his new dmasound module on my machine and found the bug that was causing speaker plug/unplug problems. Thanks for all the help! -- Charles R. Twardy ctwardy at alumni dot indiana dot edu Monash University, +61(3) 9905 5823 (w) School of CSSE +61(3) 9905 5146 (f)
