-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I moved my misc directory aside, and reinstalled them in the kernel/sound directories. Here's some more info:

It turns out there's still no output to this command. > kernel/sound directory must be checked by modprobe. > all normal kernel modules are installed under kernel directory. It seems like it's checking, partially. After starting my X session, gnome complains that it's unable to open /dev/mixer. I looked at the output of lsmod, and the only sound-related modules that got loaded were these: $ lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P snd-mixer-oss 8800 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd 24200 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss] soundcore 3588 0 (autoclean) [snd] Note the 'P' flag in the Tainted header. I don't know what this means, but it wasn't there when the modules were located in misc. The man page for lsmod is remarkably unhelpful in determining the meaning of the 'P' that's there. I have a vague idea that this has to do with GPL issues, but beyond that no clue... Also, in my logs, I see these messages: Jun 26 15:30:49 mercury modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81 Jun 26 15:30:52 mercury modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0 Apparently, it's not loading any of the drivers in the kernel/sound/pci directory... Oddly, if I manually modprobe snd-ymfpci, it loads, along with the rest of the modules. All I can say is, WTF?
