Hello,
Thank you for your reply Nick!
Unfortunately, the laptop currently has an
2.2.20-idepci version kernel (as the uname -r told me
:-) )
Does this mean I will have to upgrade (as Tim said in
another mail, the alsa-modules only contain
alsa-modules-2.4.16-* and alsa-modules-2.4.20-* )
I currently only did an installation using the first
Debian cd, and an add-cdrom on the second one (the
others still have to be burned) but no kernel image is
in there so far.
Thanks,
Joris
