Ok….easy one….on my laptop running slackware 9.0 I get errors every time I boot because it is trying to load the joystick port of my sound card and my sound card has none….i know I have the right sound card selected….i recompiled my kernel to remove joystick support in the sound section and it still does this….what do I need to do to keep this piece of the module from trying to load?
Running kernel 2.4.20
Slackware 9.0
IBM ThinkPad a22m
Cs46xx is the soundcard module

From my understanding there should be
two distinct modules, one for sound, one
for joystick... so you should be able to
either recompile your kernel with the
gameport for the cs46xx disabled, or
blacklist the joystick driver in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist
