Krikket, I think you have the order wrong here. BAsically, you cannot emerge Alsa until the kernel and modules are built, you have booted into that kernel, and then you're ready for Alsa. So... 1)' make menuconfi'g and set up what you think you want for your kernel. 2) 'make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install' until things go cleanly 3) mount /boot and copy arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-new-name 4) Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to add the new kernel 5) REBOOT INTO new kernel 6) emerge sync 7) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv alsa-drivers alsa-tools alsa-utils alsa-libs alsa-oss alsa-firmware (plural/singular on above command not guaranteed 8) rc-update add alsasound boot 9) Reboot again and see if you get sound Alsa comes at the end of the process. Good luck, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
