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 ). 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. 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? The system has provided rock solid since I upgraded ( with only a few minor querks ) Thanks panjur
