thanks for replying, sadly this didn't make any difference, i've also tried running #bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds becasue i read something about rebuilding the initramfs ? however i'm not really clued up on the specifics of the mageia boot process. anyway, i've now placed a simple /sbin/modprobe/ snd-emu10k1-synth in rc.local along with a soundfont load line and now i have midi after booting! bascule -- "Attack pattern alpha-omega-atari...go!" - Blossom
