Those queer things that are called the eyes, and which exist to make an agreeable soft depression in the face, are diseased, in the case of Bogota, in such a way as to affect his brain. They are greatly distended, he has eyelashes, and his eyelids move, and cosequently his brain is in a state of constant irritation and distraction. Yes? said old Yacob. Yes? And I think I may say with reasonable certainty that, in order to cure him completely, all that we need do is a simple and easy surgical operation -- namely, to remove those irritant bodies.

(cut) I don't see a way to identify which modules are OSS and which are ALSA. I think the snd-something ones are ALSA, right? Yes, and soundcore is also needed. '/sbin/modinfo module_name' gives module info. Soundcore is needed for both OSS and ALSA. All sound related modules not beginning with snd- are OSS modules AFAIK. So I'm guessing sb_lib, uart401 and opl3 are OSS. Is this correct? Any others I should also remove? Thanks, Germn. Some of the modules to remove may be used by another module so you would have to know which ones to remove first. I think it's easier to undo what sndconfig did. Sndconfig is an old program to set up the OSS soundsystem, I think it should in general _not_ be used. Please post your /etc/modules.conf, that's the most important file that is changed by sndconfig. The 2.6 kernel uses /etc/modprobe.conf so post that too. /etc/modules.conf: probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 sb options sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options sb io=0x220 irq=11 dma=0 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 /etc/modprobe.conf: alias sound-slot-0 sb options sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options sb io=0x220 irq=11 dma=0 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /bin/true If I understand this sndconfig has loaded the following modules: sb, sound, opl3. No mention here of uart401, but I don't know if that has any significance. If it worked in 9.0 it should work with 10.0 and it should work with ALSA but that doesn't mean that it will :-( I think the best way is to undo what sndconfig did, How would I go about that? Simply unloading sb, sound and opl3 (and maybe uart401)? Yes, and edit /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf as Raffaele BELARDI wrote. If you then reboot the OSS modules simply shouldn't load anymore during that boot (no need to remove them manually first). I would also use a cold boot (power off the machine for at least 30 seconds) to ensure that the card is in a 'standard' state when booting. One of the reasons I say this is that the OSS sb module was loaded and you wrote about the soundsystem being 'Soundblaster compatible'. Maybe the OSS driver put the card in some 'Soundblaster compatible mode' and maybe a warm reboot nor loading the ALSA driver do remedy that. Maybe I am just paranoid ;-) reboot (not strictly needed) and start again configuring your sound if needed: first try the Mandrake tools, if that doesn't work ALSA's alsaconf utility. If that doesn't work you can try sndconfig again when ALSA isn't loaded. At the moment you have an interesting mix of OSS and ALSA modules :-) You know, MCC doesn't even show any option to configure sound, and in the hardware section there is no mention of a sound card. If I reboot with CD1 and reach the post-install config I can configure the keyboard, display etc, but no mention of sound. Weird. I'll take one more look after undoing sndconfig's evil workings, but I'm not too hopeful. Yes, I think it's because it's an ISA card. Alsaconf is able to setup ISA cards though. Thanks a lot for your help. Germn. You're very wellcome, that's what this list is for :-) -Frans Want to

Re: Re[4]: [newbie] Getting online with DSL modem
Sorry for the long silence. I have been following the messages in this group with interest, but I took a break from trying to get Linux to work. I'm interested in trying the OS and have been for quite a while, but I dread the learning curve. I have a love/hate relationship with Windows. I love it for its ease of use, and I don't think Linux can compete well in that area yet, but I could be wrong. It may just be an issue of familiarity. I don't often have to think about how to do something in Windows. I just do it. It's second nature after 14 years. On the other hand, I HATE Windows for its instability, flakiness, lack of security, etc. and I have the grey hairs to prove it! :-) Anyway, I ran that cat command, and this is what's in that configuration file: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp BROADCAST=151.164.1.255 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes WIRELESS_ENC_KEY= I ran the tail command, and got this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jeff]# tail /var/log/messages Jul 23 17:11:34 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Jul 23 17:11:34 localhost kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1 Jul 23 17:11:37 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 18 Jul 23 17:11:55 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 Jul 23 17:12:11 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 Jul 23 17:12:14 localhost dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.

Re: [newbie] Getting online with DSL modem
Okay, I formatted the Linux partitions, and did a fresh reinstall. I have the SAME PROBLEM. I have given up on trying to get Mandrake to work with my DSL modem. It simply will not do so. I have a Linksys (Network Everywhere NR041) router that I wasn't using, but I have now installed it. I can get online with it just fine in Windows, but NOT in Linux. Every time I try to configure the network in Linux, the program crashes. I forgot to mention it earlier (sorry, because I know that was an important detail), but this has always been the case. I tried setting up the network as a LAN connection, and it asked me if I wanted DHCP or manual, I think it was. I chose DHCP and got asked for information that I don't have, such as a host name. I have no idea. All I know is that I have SBC Yahoo! DSL that works flawlessly in Windows and not at all in Linux. I left this project alone for a while because I got frustrated with it. This should be simple, but it's not. I'm almost ready to give up on Mandrake completely if it won't even connect to the Net on my machine and either try another distribution after I take some time away from this again or just put the I think I'll try Linux because I've heard great things about it and I'm curious project on the backburner again indefinitely. My frustration isn't, of course, directed towards anyone on the list. Everyone has been very helpful, and I really sincerely appreciate it. I just wish I could get this to work! Arrhhh!!! BTW, my NIC is being identified as a Realtek 8139 (I think that number is correct). Is that actually supported hardware in Linux?
