where in bios?
Re Ac'97
I also have this onboard soundcard and was able to have it detected as usual no problem. Check your bios.
Re Video 'Broken'
Dunno if same prob, but this was first time knoppix didn't detect my refresh rate properly so screen was black/white choppy. Press f2 in boot you will see knoppix xrefresh=60 or somesuch. Check it out.
where in bios?
I believe it is listed in peripherals. Make sure you have the soundcard enabled. There are 3 or 4 lines that need to be enabled. This is assuming your bios is the same or similar which is likely. Mine is on a gigabyte board.
Done that already...
I tried the gentoo ut2003 demo cd and it loaded the alsa driver so there is hope for me yet[/url]
