Errr, if I'm booting from cdrom, how do I blacklist modules?

At the moment I'm looking at exploding the ISO image onto disk,
finding and deleting the cd module and then burning a new cdrom,
but I only want to go down that path if I *know* I can get it right
first time.

now garbage, regardless of what other part of the program might have been
using it. -- Paul Johnson

 Hi all,

 It seems the cs is pcmcia related but I've tried booting with
 nopcmcia and pcmcia=off but neither helped.

 Anyone have any idea hot I can boot and avoid this cd driver?

 I have this problem where I try running realplayer after Ive used the

 I get a

 I cant get the machine to release the sound card.
 This is a recurring problem. At times I can kill artsd. Other times 
 there is no artsd running.
 


You could try using the ALSA OSS emulation. Here's a page that's relevant to 
Ubuntu, I imagine something along those lines can be done with FC5.

[SLUG] FC 5 sound problem

2007-10-18 Thread Luke Vanderfluit

Hi.

I know theres some sound experts on this list.
Im running kernel 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5
Realplayer 10.0.8

I have this problem where I try running realplayer after Ive used the 
sound device through another application (usually through opera).

I get a
/~~~
'Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it.'
\__


I cant get the machine to release the sound card.
This is a recurring problem. At times I can kill artsd. Other times 
there is no artsd running.


The only way Ive gotten my sound back is rebooting.
But that is so reminiscent of windows I dont want to go there any more.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Kr.
Luke.
