Well, I found last night that if I removed Alsa and then rebuilt it, that as long as I didn't power down 0.9.4-rc1 stayed up and I could see my card even after a warm boot, but again, after a cold boot Alsa no longer recognized the card. So, my new strategy is that every morning, as I brew my tea, I now do: emerge -C alsa-driver alsa-utils alsa-tools ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge alsa-driver alsa-utils alsa-tools and then warm boot to get the driver to find the card. I still don't get sound, but at least my CPU knows the card is there. I guess life is good when you finally know how to cope with it! ;-) Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
