You really should subscribe to the cooker list if you run
cooker, or at least comb the cooker archive. The primary mirrors
have been sort'a screwed up since 6/18. Mirrors that mirror off
them are even worse for longer. Many have reported problems
installin cooker as is. The usual suggestion is to do a fresh 9.1
install (you can keep /home), and then update it to current cooker
9.2, but use sunsite, the primary mirror. As far as you've gotten,
I believe I'd try doin an update of sunsite sources, then
'urpmi --auto-select'. My guess is the mirror probly won't be fixed
before Monday tho. Keep an eye on the synthesis.hdlist's in ../base
If you don't wanna fool with that, cooker iso's of 9.2 should be
available soon, at least before the end of this month. I've been
usin 9.2 all along with no problems. I've got onboard AC97 sound. I
don't remember any complaints or bug reports for 9.2 SB live! When
the mirrors finally do get straight there should be a new 2.4.21
marcelo kernel. Maybe it would straighten out your problem. Or try
the mm kernel in contribs (/RPMS2), 2.4.21-0.18mm-mdk. It's the one
I use.
