Now that everything is working right, I was toying with the idea of screwing it all up :)
Basically, I'm considering rebuilding the kernel to add in some things I'm missing (sound) and removing some things that I don't need (SCSI support, for one). I've read all the howtos and got all the files, so I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of how to do it (but I'm open to suggestions, if anyone has them). My problem is this - my &*$#&$ laptop manual doesn't say what the settings of my ESS688 sound chip are (IRQ, Mem base, etc). And I no longer have any other OS on my machine (I dived into Linux head first...), so I have no easy way of running a program to find out. The menuconfig script is asking me for these settings (obviously)...if I provide the wrong numbers, will the machine boot (without sound), or will it completely crash? And if I supply the wrong numbers, will I have to recompile the kernel again, or are their config files that can be changed? Any insight would be helpful.
