Well, I did not just copy anything. Let me summarize the problem below. 1. regarding configuration I started 'make xconfig' as usually, but the configuration options in Sound section were all disabled except "Sound card support" and few basic sound drivers (SB and the like). It is not very common that configuration options are inaccessible, is it? For instance, after having selected Sound card support = yes and Soundblaster support = yes, I still could not configure SB base address, IRQ, DMA, etc. (the respective options are disabled). I guess the configuration options should probably be used if they appear in the menu. Might be that kernel 2.0.36 has another arrangement of sound modules (that is in fact announced); in such case I would expect the other, new way to work. But it doesn't. Neither the old one does (see compilation). 2. regarding copying When I copied (=retyped) two or three configuration options of Soundblaster to the new .config, the respective options were displayed correctly by the xconfig script. They seem to be correct then. 3. regarding compilation The kernel won't compile in either case (original .config as well as modified .config). What really annoys me is that sound no longer works on my PC although it was fine before. It is even more annoying because Mandrake was announced on the main web site as "innovative". >From my point of view, so far the only "innovative features" of Mandrake compared to RedHat are: 1) changed distribution name in the installation scripts, 2) broken kernel-sources-2.0.36 and 3) broken "cs" locale support in X (worked before upgrade, now it works again after manual fix). >-----Original Message----- >From: Mauro Tortonesi [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Friday, March 05, 1999 13:21 >To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' >Subject: RE: [newbie] Broken kernel-source-2.0.36 in Mandrake 5.2 > >On Fri, 5 Mar 1999, Vavruska Jindrich wrote: > >> When it starts compiling sound files (.../sound).
