Below is the contents of my modprobe.conf file: alias eth0 3c59x alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236 options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-cs4236 index=0 remove snd-cs4236 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cs4236 yet when I boot the sound module is not loaded. For a while I could get the sound to work using modprobe snd-cs4236 but that has stopped working. Now the modprobe.conf file looks right so I am mystified, Anyone have any idea what to do? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
