fyi, sound card problems when updating to 2.6.30 seem to be common.
Typically the boot msg is something like "unknown hardware"
"initializing by guess method"
The fix seem to be just to run alsaconf and follow the prompts.

I thought of that, but isn't there too much difference in the
versions? I read somewhere that taking to big a leap between versions
is unsafe. Not to mention the great whack of new options. If you do a

I did the 30-r6 from scratch, then copied the .config over to the

p either.
On a related note, I see that CONFIG_NR_CPUS only allows for 8 in the
30 kernel. Trying any other number leads to an error "Invalid Number"
, whereas for the 29 kernel, 64 seems to be the default.

This is on an Asus 900A. 4G SSD, / and /boot all on one partition,
