Hello,

Since Yesterday I got these errors, but with gnome-alsamixer everything
is fine, and I can hear sound etc.

$ amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: Invalid argument

$ alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Invalid argument

I patched 2.6.18 with Ingo Molnars rt patch 2.6.18-rt3.
This worked flawlessy.
Yesterday I recompiled that kernel without changing anything in spite of
the nvidia beta driver. I had to leave make-kpkg kernel-image out, and
do modules-image only, I guess :(
