i hate to sound like a lazy ass, but there's got to be a more simple solution then that. after all, i was running 2.4.18 on that RH, not patched or anything, and everything was supported out of the box. i am thinking that since lspci dooesnt even show anything about the sound device, then maybe its a hardware problem ? before i'll go and start re-building my kernel, is there any chance that this is not the case ? its gonna be a bitch compiling it all over again for nothing on a P II, 300Mhz. tal. > > As a short cut, try first the latest prepatch for the vanilla kernel > (2.4.20pre5 now) and Alan Cox's -ac tree (2.4.20pre5ac1). -- ====================================== Amir Tal Owner, Founder Whatsup, Hebrew Linux Portal Voice: +972-8-9363164 Cell: +972-58-978979 ICQ: 15748705 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.whatsup.org.il ====================================== ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
