I don't understand, where does the symlink currently point to? It looks correct to me on my machines: $ tree /sys/class/sound/ /sys/class/sound/ |-- card0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0 |-- controlC0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0/controlC0 |-- pcmC0D0c -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0/pcmC0D0c |-- pcmC0D0p -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0/pcmC0D0p |-- pcmC0D2c -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0/pcmC0D2c |-- pcmC0D6c -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0/pcmC0D6c |-- pcmC0D6p -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/card0/pcmC0D6p `-- timer -> ../../devices/virtual/sound/timer What do the symlinks look on your machine? thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
