Thanks a million Paul. Your suggestion about using strace to track down
the toublesome file using strace worked. It turns out that for some
reason a KDE config file (kscdrc) was corrupted so that the CDDEVICE
path was no longer there (I suspect it was when my machine locked up
while I was playing with sound config files, and I had to do a cold
reboot). Fixed it and everything works fine (didn't even take that much
patience)

Just one more question. If I issue the command:
# modprobe -a sb io=0X220 irq=5 dma=1
as SU or by logging in as root, the sound works fine, and the module
stays loaded even after I logout and login again as another user. On the
other hand, the module is unloaded when I logout, and does not
automatically start up again when I reboot. Would the following command
be the correct way to append something to the kernel so that the sound
is automatically loaded every time I reboot?
insmode sb io=0X220 irq=5 dma=1
Or is there a better way to do it that doesn't require totally
reinstalling the kernel?
Thank you,
Glen
