Wow, that's the first Debian installer that made it all the way
through on this machine.

Thanks!

 You could try the etch installer with 2.6.23, available at

True, I *can* install debian, except that I was trying to use Etch,
and etch's installer crashed in the middle of its process, leaving me
with an un-bootable system, due to the recent-ness of my computer. I
didn't try Lenny yet on this laptop (dell D630) so I don't know if
this problem was fixed, but knoppix and etch both don't work.

Anyway, I read up some more on bugs.ubuntu.com

https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-utils/+bug/29597

This bug explains what's going on with alsaconf.

  well, this is a *DEBIAN* development mailing list, if ubuntu team isn't
  able to package alsa properly you should rant on UBUNTU ml and forums.

 No, if Ubuntu doesn't work properly, you can simply install Debian
 instead.

 I search and search the ubuntu forums. In the end, it seems everyone
 in ubuntu-land must resort to compiling alsa from SOURCE to get sound
 on their laptop. WTF?!?

 Obviously ubuntu is having serious problems with packing alsa
 properly. Why is that? Could someone from debian land give them a
 hand please?!?

 What would happen if I tried to install debian lenny's alsa-utils on
 a ubuntu gutsy gibbon?

At [1] you can find a list of all ubuntu development lists.
