Hi,

I had been running a mythtv frontend/backend  on a VIA EPIA
mainboard (mini-itx). Kernel is  2.6.18.9 and gentoo 2006 !!
This whole setup was quite stable until I powered down the system
for three days recently. Now when I power on I see the following
lines in /var/log/message

cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---


lspci does list the onboard controller properly.

Is this a hardware failure ? How can I confirm it ?
