I'm not sure how to get the oops text - the system simply halts and I
have to reboot - which log should it be in?
As far as I am concerned, I think ALSA should be the default for the
CS46xx chipset (during the DrakX install). I can only speak for myself
of course!
I also would blacklist this chipset in Draksound only for OSS and not
Alsa.
Thx,
