Dave: The only different is that /proc/asound/cards says --- No Sound Card----
in my case. I have a nagging suspicion about two things:
1) I/O / IRQ conflicts (I dual boot to WindozeME for games; and that has no
problems with our Crystal Sound chip)
2) Older snd-card-cs46xx or other drivers lingering at other directories,
and being used, instead of the newer ones.
No idea what to do next. Dont even know how to go back to the old kernel :)
(Darn, and I had just gotten the linmodem to work too!)
