Hi Marc. Sorry for the very slow reply. I found there were a load of updates
for my FC5 install, including the kernel your having problems with.
I have an Ensoniq (ens1371) card on this machine. Its not the SB16 PCI one,
which appears to be a bit earlier, but still using the ens1371 driver.
I know I'm working from FC2 on that machine at the moment, but
your /sbin/lsmod |grep snd seems to be missing a load of modules. This is the
output of that command on FC2.
[djmons at localhost djmons]$ /sbin/lsmod |grep snd
snd_ens1371 17120 4
snd_rawmidi 17184 1 snd_ens1371
snd_seq_device 6152 1 snd_rawmidi
snd_pcm 68872 2 snd_ens1371
snd_page_alloc 7940 1 snd_pcm
snd_timer 17156 2 snd_pcm
snd_ac97_codec 50436 1 snd_ens1371
gameport 3328 1 snd_ens1371
snd 38372 12
snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec
soundcore 6112 1 snd
"soundcore" is very important, and as far as I know is the basis for "snd"
being loaded, and then the other modules, including snd-ens1371. This would
explain why cat /proc/asound/version doesn't exist.
What does the output of /sbin/lsmod |grep snd show for one of the earlier
kernels?
Nigel.
