    upgraded to 2.6.2....now no sound or network

    Well since I'm an idiot, I recompiled my kernel with 2.6.2 and everything works fine...except it can't detect my sound card or NIC. I compiled with OSS and ALSA support for EMU10k1 and I have a Soundblaster Live! but it still doesn't see it. I also compiled in support for NE2000/1000 cards because my SMC EZCard 1211 was supposed to be compatible with these generic drivers (no linux drivers available). So I'm completely confused as to why it doesn't work. Anyways, it worked with the Live CD and with the HDD install before upgrading the kernel, so I was wondering if there's a .config anywhere that is the default that Knoppix was compiled with so I could use that (if that would work) or if there's any other fixes available.

    I have a SB Live that worked fine with 2.6.2 you can look at my config here and check for any differences in the sound section. For the network card is the module loaded, the same for sound modules as well. The configuration for any kernel installed in Debian with the kernel package program is in the /boot/config-?.?.??-??, the ? are the output of uname -r for the old kernel it is easy enough to figure out if you look into the directory if you do not want to reboot back to it.

    it's funny you should mention that, because when i first compiled it i used your config verbatim because I had seen it in the 2.6.0 thread. no sound, no network. tried again after adding SE2000 NIC stuff to the kernel, still no good.

    Just to ask the obvious you have went and unmuted the master and pcm channels everytime I upgrade the kernel they get reset to the default mute. Next thing to check is what you have installed for alsa you need the alsa-base and alsa-utils packages installed. I'm not sure about the NIC never used that card but as I asked in my last response is the module for it loaded??

    When I boot KDE it says there was an error starting the sound server...so it's not just that they're muted. As for the modules, I don't know how one would check that. (like i said, me = idiot). When it boots, I notice it says that it's sharing IRQ for two PCI devices and lspci showed my NIC and sound card as those two devices. Also in the boot message I saw something about NE2k-PCI, and it said [OK].

    That usually means you are not a member of the audio group or it is using the wrong server, BTW that would have been nice to know when you first posted. To check use the groups command in a console window (clam shell icon on the taskbar) and make sure you see audio there if not then type in su then enter next root password and enter again. Now you would adduser your_user_name audio then you have to logout and back in for the change to take effect. To check for the server usage open the Control Center go to the Sound & Multimedia then Sound System and make sure it is set to ALSA not autodetect. To check for loaded modules you use the command lsmod in a console window you should see output similar to this.

    Code:

    You may want to move one of the cards to a different slot to see if will get a different IRQ and you should go into the BIOS and make sure any setting in there for a Plug'n'Play OS if set to disabled. Also have you mkdir /sys as root and put this line in your /etc/fstab to use the new sysfs in the 2.6 series of kernels.
    Code:
    ## Needed for kernel 2.6
    none            /sys            sysfs   defaults                0       0
    And you may want to try at the Lilo screen using Linux pci=biosirq to try and make it use a separate irq for the sound and network card, this assumes that the name you select at the lilo screen to boot the 2.6 kernel is Linux if it differs type that in instead.

    LOL definitely found the problem...

    I knew that when I added my user I added it to the audio group...and I just added that line to fstab and rebooted and still no modules loading. Now that I know it's not loading my modules...how do I make it load them???

    Wait wait...lemme guess...module init tools? I may have forgotten them when I upgraded and that would cause me to smack myself rather hard...I'll try bootin my 2.4 kernel and see if I can download them with that

    hehe...well i tried 2.4.21-xfs and couldn't boot...went into 2.6, did a dpkg search for module-init-tools...and i already got it. So I'm not quite as dumb as I thought...

    I also noticed when i shut down, that at the very top of the screen (left over from booting up) it mentioned a problem with hotplug and PCI...so I'm guessing THAT is where my problem is now...

    hope that narrows it down even more...

    tried update-modules and rebooted..same problem...but i did get a chance to finally read what it said about hotplugging before it flew off the screen:

    Code:
      pci** couldn't synthesize PCI hotplug events
    or something very similar to that
