Either load snd-seq-midi manually, or use ALSA 1.0.7. For what it's worth, using these kernels on Mandrake 10.1 has these results for me: kernel-2.6.8.1.12mdk-1-1mdk - ALSA modules load fine and system power-off works too. kernel-multimedia-i686-up-4GB-2.6.7-1.mm.3mdk - ALSA modules load fine. System won't power-off at shutdown (requires operator to press on/off switch). kernel-multimedia-i686-up-4GB-2.6.7-1.mm.7mdk - ALSA module loading leaves snd-seq-midi *unloaded*, requires modprobe to load it. System won't power-off at shutdown. I hope that helps someone. Cheers.... -- Kevin
