You aren't using the latest kernel.org sources. There is no reason then. If you MUST get a newer kernel, you will need to update the version of udev as any kernel 2.6.12(really 2.6.11, but stay away from that one) or later has to have a 090 or newer version of udev. Along with many other things. Gone are the days of just compiling a new kernel and plopping it in. > > Are you using udev?

No you need to update the udev for your machine. if you use 2.6.14 again, you must have AT LEAST 090 version of udev. > But any time I update kernel and reboot with the new one, I need to > run alsaconf again to set the right driver and modify the modules > stuff (which is an easy proccess through alsaconf).

I ran alsaconf once a long time ago. Back around 2.4.22 being in testing and no 2.6 at all. change the hardware out from underneath the Installation. Since, I have only had to fitz with modules only when I change the hardware, I think it'd be good for you to somehow switch to Sid... and run the latest stuff. Only issue I had was getting nVidia stuff to play nice back then. It is a whole different ballgame now. BTW, Hotplug the package is deprecated in etch. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
