Missing ALSA driver?

2004-12-03 Thread Christian Convey
Hi guys, We installed Sarge / 2.6 kernel + ALSA on a Dell computer. Some documents claim that we need a particular driver: "emu10k1x" to handle Dell's variation of the SBLive! card. However, that particular driver doesn't seem to have come with Sarge's version of ALSA. Does anyone know why we mi

It is also quite possible that you can switch to another virtual console and log in through that. Do this by hitting ctrl+alt+F1 to get to the first virtual console. You should have virtual consoles on F1 - F6. This will allow you to go in and look at the system to see where it might be hanging.
