-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks. Actually, I DO suspect apic/apci (I can never keep the two straight). If I disable APIC in the kernel, then 9.2 will not bootup. It freezes shortly after starting the bootup process. This was true during install as well. I had to turn on APIC to get bootup and install.
I have tried the noapic switch when booting kernels but it doesn't change anything (still no sound). I have "acpi=ht" in my kernel options line in lilo (default setup from install). I have tried "acpi=off" but this doesn't change anything either (still no sound). Somewhere there is a problem in the kernel or the alsa drivers, or perhaps both. It is suspicious that it is impossible to boot a kernel if APIC is disabled (all previous installs of Mandrake up to 9.1 required that I disable APIC in bios to get a fully functional and stable system). SuSE 9.0 uses a modified 2.4.21 kernel (modified with many 2.6.x additions) and it works fine, sound included. I suspect the 2.4.22 kernel series itself. praedor On Tuesday 18 November 2003 05:09 am, Tim Sawchuck wrote: > On Tue, 18 Nov 2003 10:46:15 -0500 > > Praedor Atrebates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> scribed on electronic parchment: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Unfortunately the mute/unmute trick with aumix didn't work for me.
