I installed urpmi module-init-tools-0.9.11a-4mdk.i586.rpm and rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.0-0.test3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
Then I made an extra grub as: title Cook2 test kernel (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-0.test3.1mdk root=/dev/hda8 devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off initrd (hd0,7)/boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test3.1mdk.img And I am in that now. According to what have been discussed here before the kernel may have alsa compiled in, so one should recompile it as a module. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux Cooker 9.2 kernel-2.6.0-0.test3.1mdk-1-1mdk Only in a society that has 'a priori' defined what is the truth can the result from the evolution of life be defined false.
