I reinstalled amd64 from a sarge netinst cd I had burned. Since I have a stack of them I just grabbed the first one I saw which must have been a few months old. I know this for 2 reasons: 1. That's where 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 came from which, as you noticed, is no longer availabe and 2. The sources.list on the netinst cd was out of date and I had to hand-edit the file to get the net installation part working. Once I got the base system installed and rebooted I put in just the minimum (no graphics stuff at all). I changed the sources.list from stable to testing and updated/upgraded the system to etch. I then ran alsaconf (I may have downloaded the alsa stuff or maybe it was already there I don't recall). Anyway it worked and I could get up amixer and alsamixer which were quite happy. Then I installed the xwindows system (xfree86 not xorg) and kde. The sound still worked fine and this is when I reported that 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 was working with alsa. Then I installed the 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 kernel image and the sound still worked fine. So we know there is no bug in 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 or at least it is compatible with alsa since I have it working now. If you really want to use 2.6.8 rather than 2.6.11 then I'd suggest you reinstall from a fresh sarge netinst cd, just do the minimum upgrade to etch by editing the sources.file and try out alsa before putting in the graphics stuff. At least you'll know that the sound works before downloading 400 packages or so that come with KDE or Gnome (or whatever). You should be fine then. I have no idea what both of us did to mess up the system but we managed it. Cheers, Jonathan
