Dirk If it helps, my hard drive chipset changed, gave me a kernel panic the first time, then after that the sound didn't work. It took me two tries to get the kernel working. Like everything else, its just progress. LOL Dale :-) :-)

Maybe things have changed since the dark ages when I started using Gentoo. Back then, occasional mayhem would ensue if you tried using an old .config. Sometimes. So I'm keeping this habit -- it also gives me a heads-up about new features. Bye... Dirk -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
