Hello Tom,
Can't find this particular directory (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/OPL3-SA2)
on my system. Is it only added when you install kernel 2.2.5? I removed the
upgraded rpms and the 2.2.5 kernel so I'm now back to using kernel 2.0.36. Sure
enough my sound card was working again, as well as the NCFTP client.
The problem with NCFTP was that it would open the ftp connection, let you log in
the user name and password then without any message or warning would simply dump
you back at the system prompt. I tried other ftp sites and it did the same thing.
One more problem I had with kernel 2.2.5-ac3 was that upon boot up and the login
prompt is in front of you, the linux penguin which is supposed to be colored blue,
brown and white is all in shades of grey. If you let the console blank out and
then move the mouse to revive the screen, the penguin would now have the right set
of colors. It apparantly also goes away when you start KDE and then exit to the
console and back to login. The colors available when the penguin is grey are the
color scheme of the small penguin upon the start of the boot sequence. The one
with the beer. The graphic is grey for the penguin and brown for the beer. Doing a
colored ls command while in this condition results in the wrong colors being
displayed. What should be listed in light blue colors are in brown just like the
brown of the beer. I know its a trivial problem but I'm just curious as to what is
causing it.
