I recompiled the kernel with the CMI8738 drivers built-into the kernel. I also got rid of a lot of apparently superflous sound stuff (OSS drivers?) and drivers for hardware I don't have.
Now sound works fine. If anybody else with the same (or similar) hardware runs into this problem I'd be glad to mail them the contents of my /usr/src/linux/.config file. BTW, I also compiled in UDF write support and have done huge file copies to and from my DVDRAM and had no problems. Why is istill listed as dangerous when I run xmenuconfig? Are there specific things I should watch out for? msh wrote: > I just installed MDK 8.2 on a empty partition of my computer. I also > have 8.1 on a different partition.
