Why would alsa work as a module, but not when built into the > kernel? Probably because you are using the slmodem drivers. which also have something to do with ALSA. I don't know the details, but when I installed slmodem on my laptop, it warned that the also driver had to be a module. you also need to re-emerge slmodem after compiling a new lernel. > Avoiding all of this is one of the reasons I moved up to 2.6. It's not the same problem as with 2.4. there, ALSA was separate fro the kernel, so you had to re-emerge alsa-drivers after recompiling the kernel. With 2.6 the ASLA modules are compiled at the same time as the rest of the kernel, so having them as modules causes no extra work. -- Neil Bothwick This is a test of the emergency tagline stealing system.
