I got an empty hard drive and installed the redhat beta (severn), but sound still doesn't work. Also, it still works fine in Windows. Anyone else have any other ideas? Stinger....

Installed the kernel but the X server wouldn't boot. It crashed with "Caught Signal 11" or something like that. I guess i'll have to wait for the new RedHat. I left a 5 gig partition for dual booting windows so i'll stick with that for now. Thanks for trying!! Stinger.....

I tried to seach and find out, but i'm not to sure what you mean by "Rawhide" kernel. I'm not sure what it is, or where to get it. Is rawhide a different version of Redhat, or a different version of the kernel? Or, is rawhide a site to get kernels from? Sorry, but i guess i'm not as familiar as i thought with this linux stuff.

hehe.. i'm really, really trying hard not to use Windows. Although, i've never had a problem getting Windows to work with anything which makes it hard not to just go back to it. I've been using linux for my desktop for almost a year now. I just upgraded to a 2.2G intel cell with Asus P4S8X-X and when i installed RH9, no sound. My last PC worked fine!!! everything worked after the install and never had problems cept a lil sluggish. I don't have the old one anymore though Stinger.....

I installed RH10 on a test machine at work (not yet on the machine with the sound problem). I don't think i want to use a beta because there never seems to be any rpms. I frequently use freshrpms.net, apt, and synaptec there isn't a section for RH10. The first thing I did when i installed RH10 was install an FTP client (GFTP). The RPM installed but when i ran it, GFTP came up, and froze. I installed from source, same thing. The first thing i tried to do game me problems!!! ....guess that's why good ol' billy gates always comes out ahead. It's crap software, but it works. I'm not to advanced with Linux for a desktop OS so I don't think i'll stick with the RH10. I don't want to solve 1 problem (sound), and have 10 more Thanks anyways guys!! Stinger..............

I'm not sure what the "Gentoo 1.4 final" is??

where about's can you download redhat 10 beta?

No Go.... I loaded my existing kernel config from the /boot folder and compiled that one. The errors seemed to be gone, but the mouse didn't work. My keyboard skills for KDE are nill. Not a problem with windows, but I don't yet know how to manuvore in KDE with only the keyboard. The sound may have been working i guess, but couldn't really test it without the mouse . Stinger.....

make install did fix my Grub ok except for one thing. I got kernel panic cannot mount root (root=LABEL=/) I had to change (root=LABEL=/) in my grub.conf to the actual partition (root=/dev/hda1) Once i did this, it booted, but with some errors including "kernel doesn't support ext3" which is what my drive is formated as. I guess I have to do more config than i thought to the kernel. But, it's 11:15 pm my time. Gotta head to bed and work tomorrow. I made progress though, so that's good. Will have to finish tomorrow. I'll let ya know how i make out Stinger stinger_hot@hotmail.com

...by the way, if you haven't already noticed, i've never recompiled the kernel before. Thanks for you help. I feel as though i'm getting somewhere. Although, no sound yet Stinger....
-
k, i'll try it. I also noticed that there is an SiS 7012 selection in the "Sound" section. (I used "make xconfig"). I guess you have to click "y" on that, then compile, so i'm recompiling. Then i'll just try what you suggested to see what it does. Talk to ya later. Stinger.

ok, got it. Now, how to I load the kernel. i'm using crub as my bootloader and have: <snip> title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-19.9) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-19.9.img I assume I put the new bzImage on the kernel line but what about the initrd? Stinger
-
k, I think i found where to get the Kernel: www.kernel.org ..that was easy. But, how do I patch? Shoud I patch, or download the whole source? Stinger

I have the same problem as you with the Sis sound card. I have kernel: 2.4.20-19.9 I guess it's not new enough ethier. Where/how do you update it? I just updated with the redhat network and this is the newest kernel. Thanks, Stinger
