I'm finding a lot to like about Knoppix, but it won't operate onboard sound--Via 8235 AC97-- unless " knoppix alsa" is entered on the boot command line.

With hard drive Knoppix installation I've found no way to make the sound system work. Alsa is installed, according to KDE software configuration tables. The enable sound system box is checked on sound configuration panel, but no cigar. SuSE 9.0 runs the sound without any massaging.

What needs to be added or modified to start up Alsa at bootup on hard drive Knoppix installation?
