Why are you compiling your kernel? You aren't using the latest kernel.org sources. There is no reason then. If you MUST get a newer kernel, you will need to update the version of udev as any kernel 2.6.12(really 2.6.11, but stay away from that one) or later has to have a 090 or newer version of udev. Along with many other things. Gone are the days of just compiling a new kernel and plopping it in. Are you using udev? If you are, did you upgrade your udev? I don't know what do you mean with crash. Crash, where did he say that? No you need to update the udev for your machine. if you use 2.6.14 again, you must have AT LEAST 090 version of udev. But any time I update kernel and reboot with the new one, I need to run alsaconf again to set the right driver and modify the modules stuff (which is an easy proccess through alsaconf). If I don't do this sound doesn't work. If you have tried this already, please disregard my comment. If not, then it's an easy trial. Now if this is the problem, I think there's no way to launch alsaconf on the kernel upgrade itself since a reboot is required to launch the new kernel, so I believe this has to be manually done, well if you experience this problem I do on any kernel upgrade. This is independant of udev usage for me. I had to do this in old hotplug times, and I have to do it in new udev times as well... I am running sid with the 2.6.16 kernel from Debian. I ran alsaconf once a long time ago. Back around 2.4.22 being in testing and no 2.6 at all. change the hardware out from underneath the Installation. Since, I have only had to fitz with modules only when I change the hardware, I think it'd be good for you to somehow switch to Sid... and run the latest stuff. Only issue I had was getting nVidia stuff to play nice back then. It is a whole different ballgame now. BTW, Hotplug the package is deprecated in etch. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: Alsa breaks after kernel upgrade
Gave up. Tried unsuccessfully to compile earlier versions of alsa into the 2.6.14 kernel, but it turned into an epic. Backed the kernel up to 2.6.8 and it's working fine.
