Thanks Chris Tillman for your reply, I tried to use modconf but I couldn't find the dmasound driver in the list. Also pointing the modconf source to the installer/driver disk didn't work. When I boot up in kernel benh10, I can see the following boot message: dmasound_pmac: Awacs/Screamer Code Mfct: 1 Rev 4 which looks like the driver is installed. And further down during bootup it sais: dmasound modprobe: Can't locate module dmasound So it looks like the module is not present. So I did two new kernel compilations. The first during `make menuconfig' with the choice of the DMA sound drivers as modules (M). And the second with the choice of the DMA sound drivers as part of the kernel (y,*). In both cases the messages from above appear and the sound doesn't work. I did the compilation like: make menuconfig, make clean, make dep, make vmlinux, make modules, make modules_install. Does anybody have an idea? Is it a bug? befu
