FATAL: Error inserting cs4232 
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686/kernel/sound/oss/cs4232.ko): No such device

There is indeed no such file at that location. Could I copy the file 
from /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound even though it is called 
cs4232.o (not .ko), or will this do something nasty?

Yes, but alsaconf can't find the card. Neither can the KDE Infozentrum or any 
other tool I know, only Knoppix (all versions), which finds it OK.

Is this card perhaps so old that the cs4232 driver is simply missing from the 
2.6.12-1-686 kernel?

Could I simply replace the file called vmlinuz-2.6.12-1-686 (1.2MB) with a 
similar file found in Knoppix 4.0 and all will be well, or will everything 
crash?
