First a Big Thanks for the help when I swapped my
Toshiba CDROM for a SONY CDRW
where I appended my /boot/grub/grub.conf
at the end of the kernel line I added ... hdc=ide-scsi

Now I want to activate my Sound Card (there was no need before)
so doing my research and discovery I have tried the following
My OS is Red Hat 9 with kernel-2.4.20-31.9
and current with YUM as of Sep 26, 2004
[root]# cat /proc/isapnp { it displays the following }
Card 1 'CTL00c1:Creative SB AWE64 PnP' PnP version 1.0 Product version
1.0
Logical device 0 'CTL0042:Audio'
Device is active
Active port 0x220,0x330,0x388
Active IRQ 5 [0x2]
Active DMA 1,5
Logical device 1 'CTL7002:Game'
Compatible device PNPb02f
Device is not active
Logical device 2 'CTL0022:WaveTable'
Device is not active

when I look thru Red Hat MAIN MENU ->
SYSTEM Tools ->
HARDWARE BROWSER ->
it displays the following:
SOUND Cards -> Creative SB AWE64:Audio
Creative SB AWE64:WaveTable
Device Information:
Manufacturer: Unknown
Driver: SB
and under
Unknown Devices -> Creative SB AWE64 PnP:Game
Device Information:
Manufacturer: Unknown
Driver: ns558

[root]# rpm -q sndconfig
sndconfig-0.70-2

I was able to find the following on my system
[root usr/sbin/sndconfig]#ls -al sndconfig
sndconfig -> ../../sbin/sndconfig {a link}
[root usr/share/sndconfig]#ls -al
sample2.au {a file}
sample.au {a file}
sample.midi {a file}
[root sbin]# ls -al sndconfig
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 263776 Feb 7 2003 sndconfig
[root sbin]# sndconfig
bash: sndconfig: command not found
