Folks:
Several people have noted the problems with sound on certain
machines. I use an IBM Thinkpad 600 (eBay deal) with Red Hat 7.2
(Enigma) and the default (FULL) install has never produced sound. I
get "system beeps" when I plug and unplug the power cord, but that's
it.
Upon startup (runlevel 6), I get the following error:
"Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp
can't be opened. (no such device)"
Sndconfig runs fine from the command line and can detect the
CS4232 driver (Crystal Semiconductor) in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.7/sound/CS4232 . However, this changes
nothing (no sound, even from headphones) and still produces errors.
The problem seems to be in the 2.4.7-10 kernel. Note the September
2001 section of this page:
http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/tp600lnx.htm . The fix is noted
here:

--> The question IS: Can I upgrade my kernel version for RH 7.2
without breaking stuff??
