Ok, here is the deal. Yesterday I booted to linux, no problem at all. That day we had some problems with the electricity so for some time the computer did'nt get any power at all. Now I know this is'nt supposed to be, but if my computer does'nt get power, the bios gets scrud up. Now normally that's not a big problem, the only thing that happens is that the computer forgets the time and the date. But this time something more serious happened. I boot in to linux and this is what happens.
Starting sound driver: als4000/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-als4000.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-als4000.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-als4000.o failed

As you can see, the sound card is'nt being initialized. Is this possible because the IO and IRQ numbers have been changed because something happened in the bios ? If this is so, how can I set things back the way they used to be ?
I tried inserting the sound module my self. This is what I did :
insmod snd-card-als4000.o
And this is what happened
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_als4000_set_addr
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_opl3_new
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_als4000_interrupt
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_als4000_configure
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_als4000dsp_new_mixer
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_als4000_disable
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_als4000dsp_new_pcm
snd-card-als4000.o: unresolved symbol snd_mpu401_uart_new
I looked up the configuration of the sound card in windows, and this is what turned up :
location : pci slot 3
PCI - bus 0
device 15
function 0
The last thing I want to say is that I had sound problems before, but not nearly as serious as this. See
