I did it - I can always revert to the distribution kernel once it's updated - and my sound now works. I had to recompile the Nvidia driver, which meant that I had to compile and install not only the kernel image, but also the kernel headers, which are needed to compile the Nvidia driver. But that's pretty easy (make-kpkg kernel_headers). Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
