Ok, this is the situation. 2 days ago I tried to change to the new kernel 2.6.8.1. After a lot of work, I'm finally going online with it (Not bad for a newbie on Linux...).

Now, I really have problems with my sound card. When I go to the kernel folder (/usr/src/linux-2.6.8) I do see the "driver" for the card (Sorry for the Windows lingo, I don't know how to call it).

This is the result when I run the "lspci" command:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 02)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev
02)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #1) (rev 02)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #2) (rev 02)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #3) (rev 02)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller (rev 02)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB PCI Bridge (rev 82)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02)
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB ICH4 IDE (rev 02)
00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801DB SMBus (rev 02)
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio (rev 02)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15)
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78)

as you can see my sound card is:

Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio (rev 02)

and there is a folder for that card under /usr/src/linux-2.6.8/sound/pci/AC97

the problem here is that when I run the comand:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.8/
make gconfig // as far as I understand this is to configure the setting on your kernel

there is no such option for my card,



Any idea????

Someone with this problem??? Does anybody knows how to fix my sound card. s not giving me the chance to chose my sound card.

Besides that, it used to work with the old kernel but not with this one????
