Boot different kernel on Live CD?

[fwheeler_1]

As a reminder, the SMP kernel did boot on this HT-P4, but there was no sound. I suspect that the SMP kernel doesn't have sound compiled in it).

Let's back up a bit. What exactly are you trying to do? You mentioned booting a single-cpu kernel, but now you mention your sound card. Do you want to boot a single CPU kernel? Or are you trying to get your sound card working? Or both? Or something else? Is your system a dual-CPU system?

I want to boot the system with the 4.0.2 Live CD and have a fully functional system.

This live cd will boot w/o any cheatcodes into the SMP kernel (it is a single processor HT-P4, so I assume that is the default for this processor). After booting, the sound will not work (SB Live!). I posted the lsmod stuff futher down in the forum under my username if you're interested. . .that posting netted no responses.

It dawned on me that the SMP kernel might not have sound compiled into it (I believe that somewhere along the line, I actually got an error message to this regard), so I thought I'd try to boot the uniprocessor kernel to see if that would work since Kanotix 2005-3 boots fine on it with sound. That's where I'm at today. Just want the computer to work with everything (exact kernel unimportant), including sound.

Thanks for your continued help, FW
