Progress. I downloaded and built the source for
kernel-2.4.8-34 and built the solo driver into the
kernel. I commented out all the sound stuff in my
modules.conf, rebooted, and viola...sound, and
networking.
I have also had success with kernel-2.4.17 now, with a
couple caveats. The first is
Hi Praedor,
I'm glad to hear that you've pretty much got it all working, but I'm
curious about something. Did you say that this was a laptop? If so, do
you really need kudzu running? I mean, how often does the hardware
configuration change on a laptop (other than maybe an external mouse
Well, it is a laptop so the hardware doesn't really
change beyond pcmcia cards or, perhaps, usb devices.
However, one thing that consistently was happening
with my system when going from 2.4.8 to 2.4.17 was
kudzu would come up and re-identify my soundcard,
wanting to remove the previous settings
Success! I now have 2.4.17 up and running with sound, with a working net
connection, with wireless networking support. I still get error messages as
previously described - I can put an end to the kudzu error message by
disabling it...though this would not be the best option for a desktop syst

Not that I know of, but I usually turn kudzu off after first boot (I don't
change hardware in any of my machines too much anymore). I'd reckon that
th
Mandrake adds a lot of things, including supermount
support and for their 2.4.17 kernels thus far, a set
of security updates that reduce the system's
vulnerability to buffer overflow exploits, makes the
system hard to identify via port scans, makes it less
visable entirely to stealth scans, reduce
