For the audio, I had to get the alsa-driver and follow the instructions from: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=ICH+southbridge+HD-audio+and+modem.&chip=ICH6%2C+ICH6M%2C+ICH7%2C+ESB2&module=hda-intel Then the sound started to work. My /etc/modprobe.conf as the following: alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel # module options should go here options snd-card-0 index=0 model=laptop-eapd options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=laptop-eapd position_fix=1 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # bpm install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && { /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel (NOTE The install, remove lines are each one line) For the dvd to work correctly, I had to do the following (I have a different brand, but had the same symptoms) Add to the /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel line the following: combined_mode=libata atapi_enabled=1 This makes the ide be in scsi emulation. The drive becomes /dev/sdc0 but the links are made correcly: [bpm]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 17 13:06 /dev/cdrom -> scd0 [bpm]$ ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 17 13:06 /dev/dvd -> scd0 -- Brian Millett - [ Ivanova, "Soul Hunter"] "This is not a clear and present danger?
