OK, will try :-) Already tried reverting to kernel 2.6.37 (the previous one used here). Machine works, but still no audio devices. Some other points: - Plugging in a USB soundcard creates the corresponding devices. - I also re-enabled the internal soundcard (normally disabled in the BIOS), also that one works. So the problem seems to be specific to the HDSP Madi. Ciao, -- FA
