The 'snd' module is one of the ALSA modules. I complied the alsa-0.9 source deb package. Once this is done and the modules are installed, they should appear in /lib/[kernelversion]/modules/alsa. Then fire up modconf, uninstall the dma modules. At the bottom of the top menu is a menu item 'alsa'. Choose it. Then choose snd-powermac, snd-pcm and snd pcm-oss. This will install the relevant modules including 'snd' into the kernel. It worked for me anyway! Cheers...Paul -- Paul Talacko
