Hi debian gurus,My first post to the list, so go easy on me. I am still a debian newbie. (and apologies if this message appears twice, I posted in yesterday, but I havent seen it arrive.)I have installed debian, and I am struggling to get my sound card working. lspci tells me I have a... 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) So I have been struggling with kernel rebuilds to get this sound module loaded okay.
Maybe you needn't rebuild your kernel. Try: modprobe -v via82cxxx_audio or modconf be friendly. This works for me.
I have just run a cd-image of knoppix and it detected/ installed the modules beautifully. (knoppix looks cool to me) and I had sound playing straight away. My question is: How do I copy the Knoppix configuration across to the debian install? Is it possible to extract the .config from knoppix and rebuild my kernel using that? cheers, david. ps. debian kernel: 2.6.0 & knoppix kernel: 2.4.22 (I think)
