I just booted the new kernel (kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3) this morning. Everything ran cleanly except that I lost sound. I fired up gnome-volume-control, and found out that my integrated sound card had mysteriously reappeared. Since I don't have speakers attached to that sound card, I had no sound. Interestingly, the integrated sound card is disabled in BIOS (Dell 8200). I took a look at /etc/modprobe.conf, and there were some changes made by the kernel rpm installation. My alias for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card had been changed from: alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx to: alias snd-card-0 snd-card-0 I also lost the following line: alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 I have /etc/modprobe.conf under RCS control, and it is checked out but not locked. This means the file is read-only and I only edit it after doing a co -l on the file. There was no reason for the kernel install to change my modprobe.conf file. I guess I need to file a bug report. -- Mark Eggers <mdeggers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
