I thought I had installed the right stuff. Did I make a mistake I'm 
still not seeing? I've looked at this 5 times. I just don't see it.

The new kernel seems to be running:

[root at flash root]# uname -a
Linux flash 2.6.8.1-1.520.1vP9.ll.rhfc2.ccrma #1 Tue Aug 24 12:03:26 PDT 
2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root at flash root]#


But the new Alsa isn't. The one I see seems to be what would be in the 
kernel download and not yours. I think I've just missed the step that 
gets the new Alsa turned on, but I cannot see it yet.

[root at flash root]# cat /proc/asound/version

As for alsaconf, it's now showing up after I rebooted. It finds the 
ATIIXP, but then complains that it cannot load the right modules and 
gives up. Unfortunately alsaconf then overwrite the error messages and I 
Cannot copy them here. If I Ctrl-C out at the right time this is what I 
catch:

Starting sound driver snd-atiixp WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm 
(/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-1.520.1vP9.ll.rhfc2.ccrma/updates/acore/snd-pcm.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting snd_atiixp 
(/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-1.520.1vP9.ll.rhfc2.ccrma/updates/pci/snd-atiixp.ko):

Seems to me that I must have the wrong kernel-alsa-modules installed but 
I jsut keep missing the mistake I've made...

Sorry..... :-(((
