my mainboard is intel 865PERL

my RH version is 9.0

xfree86 version is 4.3.0 and kernel version is 2.4.20-8

alsa driver is intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh.gz download from the intel site..

log in as root user (text mode)...

when i run "[root@KaKa Intel]# ./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh", it told me "bash: ./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh: Permission denied",

why!!!???

is there someone can help me?...thx...

alsamixer is part of the alsa-utlis, so you have to install this package to use alsamixer, alsactl etc.
As for your problem I think it's better to install the alsa driver. You can find detailed instructions here

Good luck

thx a lot, well i have changed my question. coz i think why i failed is i used the command "sh" instead of "./" to run "intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh". but the problem is:

[root@KaKa Intel]# ./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh
bash: ./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh: Permission denied

why!!??

In order to run a file as an executable, the "x'" (of "rwx" fame) must be set. To illustrate, if you
and you see something like:

rw-r--r-- <blah blah blah> <date> <size> somefile.sh

the regardless of whether you are root or not, you will get a "Permission denied" error because the file is not executable. To make it executable, just set the x bit high. To illustrate, assuming that you're root and you want to retain the other file permissions, you could run
The result would then be:

rwxr--r-- <blah blah blah> <date> <size> somefile.sh

Note the executable bit has been set high. This article gives a decent overview of file permissions. Good luck with it -- J.W.

That's because the script is not executable
and you're set.
Note that "./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh" and "sh intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh" it's the same.

YEAH!!!!

it works, thx a lot J.W.

music..!! ^_^

Sweet! Glad it worked -- J.W.

(Likewise thanks bathory, both the posts give the same advice)

thx, bathory!..

but i think there is some different between "./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh" and "sh intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh" .

coz before i used the "chmod" command to change the *.sh file level, i ran "./intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh" the "Permision denied" came out, then i ran "sh intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh" instead, it worked, all the things seemed OK but theres no sound after the installtion finished. it failed... there is no "alsamixer" or something was installed.

is that means there is some different between them? i will check it out later...^.^
