Re: [Alsa-user] Mandrake 8.2 - modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-*

[Garrick S. <sit...@ho...>]

Adding that line described below, 'options snd snd_major=116 
snd_cards_limit=1' fixed it, and after one other fix I point out below, 
alsa9.0beta12 runs on Mandrake 8.2! I'd like to thank Frans Ketelaars and 
Kjetil Tjensvold for excellent help!

The install of ML 8.2 Final didn't put any kind of sound or alsa lines in 
/etc/modules.conf. I copied them in from a backup of ML 8.2beta3 
/etc/modules.conf and then alsa 5.12a ran.

I have an EPOX 8kHA+ with KT266A / via8233 based mainboard.
