Ok, I got sound working. On my windows boot the sound was on IRQ 5, it kept trying to put it on IRQ 7 in linux. I added a /etc/modutils/sound file and put options sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=1 in it, but when I rebooted it seemed to ignore that file. So instead I edited /etc/modules. It had a single line in it that said: sb So I change it to read: sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=1 That worked. What is confusing me now, is that when I shut down, during my shutdown messages I get a message that the alsa driver isn't running. This is correct, it shouldn't be. But I can't figure out why my machine is trying to shut it down. I checked in rcS.d and my rc5.d directories (I'm running in mode 5) but I can't figure out where my machine is trying start/shutdown the alsa drivers. Also, during my boot sequence my machine scans for SCSI interfaces. I don't have any scsi interfaces so how can I stop it from doing this scan everytime I boot?
BTW, apt-get rocks. Now I know why people who use debian never go to anything else. I'm addicted :) Kent West wrote: > Rev.
