Re: [Sound] Re: Re: alsa and kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0

I meant that I expected Redhat to handle the situation in such a way
that the only thing I would have to do is to run the upgrade. 

And it installed something called:

/lib/modules/2.4.18-17.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/maestro3.o

It should have been transparent to me, after all I never compiled the
alsa drivers by myself in the first place. I routinely compile the
NVIDIA drivers, and I have done it in the past for the pctel drivers.
But, as the Red Hat Network Alert Notification Tool 2.0.0 kept bugging
me that I have to upgrade the kernel, I did it and two days later
noticed the lack of sound. 

I am not completely sure that the problem resides in maestro3.o
It could be anything else. The only thing I am sure is that booting to 
2.4.18-14 does not disrupt sound, while 2.4.18-17 does.

BTW, I have recompiled the alsa drivers with no luck.
