[newbie] SBLive! under 6.1 - success

[Martin White]

Or should that be SUCCESS!!   Just to confirm - recompiling your kernel without version information on modules DOES allow you to force the insertion of the current module available from Creative. On successful reboot you get all the glorious sounds you would expect from your most wonderful Sound Blaster Live!!!   Now, the next question is how to write this up in a newbie friendly way ;o)   If i think of something easy i'll post again - of course the easiest would be for the next kernel from Mandrake to be compiled this way in the first place!.   Don't know if anyone from Mandrake is listening, but how about it guys? - would save a lot of people a lot of hassle, not to mention myself the bandwidth of putting of a new kernel RPM up on my website.   Martin.
