Hi Frank, I tried your suggestion, thinking that maybe not putting the "--with-isapnp=yes" flag wasn't enough to stop it. Apparently that's not the prob. I'm new to Debian (used RedHat for sefveral years) and did install the alsa packages from the Debian 2.2 distribution. I think I've removed them all before installing the 0.5.10 sources but I'm not sure. Could the presence of some of the older packages interfere withthe new installation? I'm using apt-get/apt-cache to manage the Debian packages, but can't see a way to check what packages are actually installed on the system. Any thoughts there? I'm attaching the "dmesg" output and my /etc/modules.conf files to this message, if you can get any info from them. Thanks. You wrote: -=> Hi Terry! -=> -=> You should make the alsa drivers with ./configure --with-isapnp=no. This -=> should solve your problem I do believe. Let me know if you have any other -=> issues. Try removing the config.cache file and doing a make mrproper in -=> the alsa driver directory. -------------- next part -------------- Linux version 2.2.18 (root at eden) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Fri Dec 15 08:14:22 EST 2000 Detected 334099 kHz processor.
