Ok, I have no sound, I did some searching, found a lot of resources that said to download emu10k1. Before I did that, I tried doing a modprobe emu10k1, and sure enough, I have it, but I have errors.
Now, I don't know a lot about linux (like why users I create can't get Mozilla open, or why my X-Server won't shut down and I have to hard boot everytime I wanna reboot), so, I'm sure there's more information you'll need. Just let me know what it is, and I'll be sure to post a follow up.
What I have is an Audigy 2. And here's what my modprobe gave me:
Code:
modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o.gz: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o.gz: insmod emu10k1 failed

1. Do you use swaret?
2. Does "modprobe snd-emu10k1" work?
I have an audigy2 but I use a newer kernel and I also don't think your alsa packages are new enough, I would suggest using swaret or your local slackware mirror for:
But, don't ever use "upgradepkg" on kernels, use "installpkg", just in case there is a problem you don't loose your bootable kernel. Don't forget to edit lilo and create a new entry and the old one and just point them to vmlinuz-ide-2.4.25 & .22

For this stuff, create 2 differnet post so there easy to read by "subject"
You don't want to leave your system like that and need to fix it.

I've uhhh....never updated my kernel. Kinda unsure how to go about that. Right now my lilo.conf file has:
Code:
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hdb2
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
vga = 791
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hdb2
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
You mention creating new sections and pointing them to vmlinuz-ide-2.4.25 & .22, where I'm confused is that it isn't pointing to vmlinuz-ide-2.4.22 already. Shouldn't it be?

Oh, the reason it doesn't show "vmlinuz-ide-2.4.22" is because in your /boot vmlinuz is linked to vmlinuz-ide-2.4.22. If you run "ls-la /boot" you will see what i mean.
I am using Mandrake Linux 9.1 Bamboo and I have managed to get snd-emu10k1 to work using HardDrake, but when I reboot or anything like that I lose those settings... how do I set it to rund snd-emu10k1 with the Audigy() driver automatically?
EDIT: oh crap, wrong forum... sorry
