Somehow dont think the new HD has much to do with it.
Suspect the MB also has a sound port.
Run lspci, and look whats on the PCI bus, may have 2 sound devices.
I would just let it install, then rebuild the kernel, deselect the the one sound driver, download realtech one and install it.
Or just use the MB one and stick the realtech in another machine.

Hi,
I have been running rh9 on a machine with a Realtek
ALC655 onboard soundcard, and everything was just
fine. However, the HDD in the machine was an old 4GB Quantum Fireball, and was a little clunky and slow and
failing occassionally, so I decided to upgrade to a
new 40GB Seagate Barracude 7200.7.
Once I re-installed rh9 on the new HDD, all of a sudden, I can't get any sound to come out! It keeps detecting my sound card as an SiS7012 with an i810_audio module.
I blew it away and reinstalled XP on the machine just to test the sound and sure enough, the sound card works fine! But when I re-install rh9, it still won't go!
Does anyone have any experience with this? Can I manually specify the soundcard? (Obviously, it
has worked in the past, so there *are* drivers for it.
Thanks in advance.
Lincoln.
