Thanks for your replies!! I don't know if I'm missing something for the 2.4.2 kernel - I updated everything to get the 2.4.0 kernel work (where the sound worked a little bit - I could play CD's, but the volume was VERY low - because I didn't get the mixer to work, but at least I could hear *something* ....) For the change to 2.4.2 I just updated the modutils to 2.4.2-1, nothing else. I don't know about anything I'm missing.
here is something from 'dmesg' .....
