I went back and reviewed the bug. Thanks for the reminder. I still want us to consider reverting to a standard bootscript, but also adding the following: <warning><para>In come cases, problems have been reported that cause a "No soundcards found" error message on system boot. This is usually caused by a slow system in combination with the sound drivers being loaded into the kernal as modules. The recommended solution is to compile the sound drivers into the kernel. A more complex solution involves running a script in conjunction with a udev hotplug event. For more details about how to do that see the <ulink url='http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/alsa-udev-initializaion.txt'> alsa-udev-initialization hint</ulink>.</para></warning> Of course the hint needs to be written. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
