Hmm. That is weird. I wrote a lot of stuff in here.;) Some people seem to have problems with my GPG signature, so I will go ahead and resend the message without signing it. I am having a couple of problems with the 2.6 kernel. 1. In an earlier email it was suggested that ide-scsi is not needed for CDRW drives in 2.6.0 kernels. In that case, how do I write to a CD? Cdrecord is giving me SCSI errors whenever I try to burn a CD. 2. Kernel 2. 6.0 doesn't seem to recognize UDF filesystems on CDRW media. It gives me the "wrong fs type, bad superblock" thing. When I put the same CD in my RH9 box which has a 2.4 kernel, it recognizes it as a UDF CD. 3. The sound is working with the tweaks mentioned in a previous message plus adding the module specific to my sound card. However, the PC speaker is totally dead. I get no beeps or sound of any kind from the PC speaker. Is there yet another module I need to add or something else I need to do to get the speaker running? Thanks for any help, PRINCE
