Hey Suresh, This means that Sound support is compiled into the kernel and not as a module. AFAIK, sndconfig requires that all components be a module. So each kernel config option has to be "m" and not "y". If you're not sure of this, search the /lib/modules/2.2... directory for the running kernel to see if soundcore.o is there. However, I believe sndconfig does just that, and didn't find it in your case. You probably need to compile a kernel. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
