hi jordan,

thanks heaps... that sounds like the trick!
yup, i'm running devfs on here... have edited lilo.conf and will see
what happens when i reboot in a sec.

yup, the problems im having are that no sound devices are found at all.
i've had this since mandrake 8.1 - which i believe was the first version
of mdk to enable devfs by default... makes loads of sense...

i had huge problems with device conflicts etc when i first installed
alsa but they suddenly seemed to clear up for some unknown reason (maybe
i finally got modules.conf set the right way)..

but it just doesnt find a sound device in /proc/interrupts - the sound
modules load fine, but the kernel isnt seeing a sound device - a
thinkpad600E does share interrupts (and dsp i think) between the modem
and sound device on irq11 though...

so when i do 'modprobe sndcard-cs4236' its fine... but opening kmix
shows nothing.... blank window...

thanks again
