I have a FIC VA-503+ motherboard ( most current BIOS update ), with a
K6-1 300MHZ, 128MB SDRAM @ 100MHZ, Prromise ATA-100 pci card/ hde1 30GB
ata100 harddisk primary drive, ATI 98 pci 16MB ram. and a dead soundcard
ALA4000 ( ALSA not supported ).
The ALS-4000 based PCI soundcards should be supported by LM8.2:
---
Module snd-card-als4000.o
Module for ALS-4000 PCI soundcards
.

The above is from: /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/alsa-driver-0.5.12a/INSTALL ,
contained in the kernel-source-2.4.18-6mdk RPM on your CD's :)
Note: the ALSA 0.5.x series is deprecated, see http://www.alsa-project.org .
I wished to change the soundcard from the unsupported ALA to and older
ESS1688, and when I changed the card the system would not reboot! I even
treid to remove just the ALA , alone without adding the ESS, and it just
sits at the intial boot screen 'Swanse', proceeds to the harddrive line
and comes to a halt. I treid to rescue, and upgrade and get the same
results.
But the original hardware configuration (when restored) works?
I must state this was not a painless ugrade from 8.1, the patch file
commands (both the patch and 'nonpentium' produced no results, on a
lark I tried and succeded with 'nonauto'!)
What form of witchcarft command and or ritual must I perform to get the
pci card out and reinstall the isa in? Where Oh where is Kudzu?
[frans@amd frans]$ whereis kudzu
kudzu: /usr/sbin/kudzu /usr/share/kudzu /usr/share/man/man8/kudzu.8.bz2
[frans@amd frans]$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/kudzu
kudzu-0.99.23-4mdk
[frans@amd frans]$ grin
The system has provided rock solid since I upgraded ( with only a few
minor querks )
Thanks panjur
Good luck!
