If it does not work replace the alsaconf generated lines in modules.conf with the ones from your backup. I followed the above and automagically - sound. Thanks, Chris.

[newbie] Spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
Hi Guys, Complete linux newbie here. I've just got past the installation of MDK 10.1 without too much trouble (on an AMD laptop, partition with WinXP), but my problems start when booting into linux. It just seems to hang with the message: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 Now from looking around the web, I've found some other reports of this error [1] One solution I found[2] was to add the following line to /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo. append = parport=0x378,7 I'd like to give this a go (hey, it might work for me), but am a bit lost as to how to go about it.

[newbie] Problems with ./configure (2)

Nope. Cheats way of finding what I'm asking is to do: # ls /dev Then insert your camera and do it again. A device name will be printed the second time / missing the first time. That is the name you use to displace actual_device_here Mentioned above. Could be something like sdax or scsix [ where x is a number or not present ] All this assumes that your set up can see the camera storage device as indeed a storage device. If not then once installed do: # lsusb and maybe that can help to disclose the file system type after some more investigation. Just hope the first one above works as things may become real easy after that. -- Regards SnapafunFrank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

[newbie] SoundBlaster Live! 24 bits
Before I start, my system is running Mandrake 10.1 Official (download edition) as the secondary OS, Windoze XP as the primary (both OS are on different harddrive). Recently, I had to change my sound card and the only one I could find before Christmas was a SoundBlaster Live! 24 bits. As Windows is currently my main OS on this box, this card is really good (well... Drivers are provided by Creative). The main problem is from Linux. My sound card isn't recognized. Well... Harddrake shows the card and state that the chipset is AudigyLS. Unfortunately, drivers for this chipset aren't provided as-is with Mandrake. I tried to download and compile the Alsa drivers, following the indications on ALSA web site for this particular chipset, but the module failed to load with the following error: unknown symbol in module snd-audigyls Someone on the list knows how to make this card work under Linux (this issue is currently one of the last step for a full migration to Linux). If you need more informations (like logs), I will provide what's needed (I just don't know what to privide and how to obtain the info...)
