I'd stay far, far away from the 2.5.x kernel series; it's the development branch of the kernel, and any given release will probably be badly broken. Looking in the 2.4.19 kernel source, though, the i810_audio driver seems to believe in Intel ICH4 hardware, so you might try a "current" (2.4.19 or 2.4.20) kernel. > Also I've only ever used kernel sources supplied with the > distribution before, is there a deb package I need and a debian > specific procedure or should I just RTFM and post again when I've > buggered it up? You can use Debian or "normal" Linux kernel sources, they work the same way. You probably want to install the kernel-package package, though, and use that to build Debian packages out of your kernels. See http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.en.html for some pointers. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
