Hello, Try to stay with me on this one it is kind of hard to explain, i'll try to make it as simple as i can. I've got two machines, a desktop box, server running rh9. The other box is a dual boot laptop running win2k and rh9. Now when I boot the desktop I can do: mount /mnt/cdrom and so forth because the mountpoints are there, my sound module is loaded properly, i ran sndconfig and everything is working great. Now on the laptop this is not the case, the mountpoints for the rom and so forth which exist on the desktop do not exist in /mnt on the laptop. I realize i can just create them and it wouldn't be a big deal, but this is kind of indicating to me that something didn't get installed or something blew out during the install on the laptop. Now to the sound card, a cs4281, is detected by sndconfig and i told it to automatically load the module at startup. I checked /etc/modules.conf and there in fact is an entry for the cs4281, however on startup the module is not loaded automatically as it is on the desktop. I've run depmod -a without any errors. A final note since the laptop is dual boot i always power which ever OS completely down and cold start to boot, I've found that eliminates either OS's pnp facilities failing to configure hardware because it remembers from the previous warm boot. If anyone has an idea on this please let me know. Thanks. Dave. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
