Without the snd-card part

all say the same. :\

Damn, yeah, sounds like the kernel recompile will be what's needed. You could get it started, and then run
make dep &&
make modules &&
make modules_install

while you pack.
The && will keep it from going further if there is an error during compile, but if no errors, then you will be ready for make bzImage or whatever and then cp to /boot the bzImage, edit lilo to reflect the changes, and then give the modprobing a run.

heres hopeing i got time!

thank you for yours.

Better get a packing, 4 hours left.
Talk to you sometime after the 31st.

Cool, have a good trip dude. And good luck on the kernel bit.
See ya

1 hour kernel compiling

2 hours packing, double check your luggage, don't bring your
T-10, T-15 screwdriver along

another 1 hour to reach the airport. Can you make it? Need shower?

Don't know if I you have already compiled your kernel or not, but this is what you might need:


1) modprobe sound
2) modprobe <sound card driver>

I ain't near my linux box right now, but if I recall correctly this is where you can find all the sound drivers that the kernel supports:

/usr/var/linux/drivers/sound

the driver directory is located in the directory whjere your kernel is.

Hope this helps.

P.S. almost forgot, if you do a modprode then you will need to add the two modprobe lines at the end of the /etc/modules.conf file (Not sure of the file name though)
