Re: Problem with linux-kernel 2.6.11.8 for ibm-thinkpad t40?

[Christian Birkholm Clausen <cbc@rus.dk>]

Hello,

I have the exact same problem on my T42. I installed 2.6.11.8 with the 
same sound config as you and the same one worked fine with 2.6.8.2 
something.

But now there's just no sound. I recompiled quite a few times changing 
the sound section in the kernel-config, but nothing seems to help.

I noticed that I get an error message saying: /dev/dsp not existing. I'm 
not sure about this /dev/dsp, haven't figured out what this is and if it 
is significant to our mutual problem.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,
Christian C.
