I was forgetting that the alsa-utils initscript, which runs at /etc/rcS.d/S50, takes care of restoring mixer levels for cards whose drivers were loaded earlier. The error message you saw can be ignored. It's ugly, but I doubt that this is worth fixing since most people are using udev now; on udev systems no error message will appear. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
