Thanks Michael. I installed the modules into / and then copied bzImage.ck1 into my boot partition. I tried editing grub.conf (RH does use it, btw, not LILO) to give me the option to boot using your kernel, and it actually made an attempt to do so, surprisingly enough (since last time I tried to manually edit that file all I succeeded in doing was bringing everything crashing down around my ears), but it couldn't get through the whole bootup process and crashed anyway, it seemed to me because of differences in our systems and setups. But this whole time I've been messing around with ALSA and I did that for another hour or so and now all of a sudden my sound works, for the most part. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with your modules, but I'm not sure it doesn't either, so thanks in either case for taking the time to send me your files and advice. I'm learning very quickly with help from folks like you.
-James *********Hmm, looks like I can't e-mail you directly at your yahoo address, Michael, so I'll just send this back to the uug mailing list. And I'll take the opportunity to thank again all the people that gave advice about the VIA 8233A sound (which turned out to be 8255), ALSA, OSS, and kernel installation. You saved me loads of pain. Chris - It looks like I got mine working through ALSA. I don't know if the same technique will work for you (I don't even know for sure what all I did), but when you can find the time try working methodically through the ALSA installation guide at freshrpms.net, and if I can help you get through any of the unclear parts just e-mail me. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
