Re: Getting Ensoniq 5880 soundcard to work again after 2.4 to 2.6 kernel upgrade.
OK, I think I've got this sorted now. I added snd_pcm_oss to /etc/modules and commented out a bunch of old stuff, then rebooted. Then X wouldn't start. I'm not sure, but I think that might be because I was trying to run udev on kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7. (This was the first reboot since installing udev and hal to get pmount to work as I expected it to.) So I installed linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7 and booted with that. Now X and the soundcard work. In the end I didn't need to mess with /etc/modprobe.d/*. Thanks very much for your help! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Some more potential diagnostic information. While I was messing with modprobe, the following appeared in syslog: Feb 25 17:23:52 garcia kernel: usbaudio: dma timed out??

Getting Ensoniq 5880 soundcard to work again after 2.4 to 2.6 kernel upgrade.
I'm now running a 2.6.8 kernel and my sound card, which worked find with 2.4.*, no longer works.
