After weeks of no sound due to the See: http://freshrpms.net/docs/alsa/ Especially where it says: The alsactl init script (from the alsa-utils package) takes care of saving your mixer settings upon shutdown and reboot, but in order to have them restored at startup, you need to add this to /etc/modules.conf : post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : It works as advertised. > via82xx issue in redhat 8 i loaded alsa and now have sound.

In essence: - kernel boots, taking note of any command line options given to it - if there is an initrd, mount that and run /linuxrc - look for /sbin/init on the root partition and pass control to that - /sbin/init reads /etc/inittab and runs the system initialisation scripts. Convention has these scripts in /etc/rc.d/*. Check the man pages for init and inittab. There are different runlevels and you can control what runs at what runlevel with tools like chkconfig. For doing your own things at bootup (and depending on what you want done), /etc/rc.d/rc.local is usually the place to do your customisations. Perhaps you should post another message about what you want to do. > Richard Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
