You should read carefully the messages the kernel package gives you when upgrading. Anyway, if you mess your lilo/grub and need to recover it, using something like Knoppix or Ubuntu LiveCD would give you access to the system in your HD, allowing you to correct that. > Now i'm making a clean install again, using the Debian installer r2.

You should install alsa-base, alsa-utils, alsa-oss (emulation layer for OSS in ALSA) and libesd0-alsa (yes, though you are using arts for KDE, it depends on libesd). Additionally you could also install udev and hotplug, but that is another different beast. anyway, I recommend installing at least discover. Using discover or hotplug you won't need to worry about which modules are you using, giving that you have installed Debian kernel 2.6.8, not one compiled in your own. If not, you will need to compile ALSA support in the kernel, and choose the drivers you will need depending on your hardware. Cheers, -- Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo jsogo@debian.org
