hi,

INTRO:
I had/have serious problems with sound, occurred after upgrading to
2.6.x kernel/Alsa and has been increasing until suddenly recently it
meant that the machine started crashing. Original bug report filed here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D139927

More on that below, pasted from a comment in the above mentioned bug.

ISSUE:
I tried the FC4 CCRMA kernel and it worked well - sound was better-,
which made me daring and I wanted to test Molnar's "edge" kernel. I
enabled the repository and did:

apt-get install planetccrma-core-edge

 - but that was no good and sound was completely dead. So I did:

apt-get remove planetccrma-core-edge

HOwever, the packaged that was installed as dependencies from the edge
repo to satisfy the edge kernel remain - only the actual kernel package
was removed - and the sounds is now dead in the "original" FC4 CCRMA
kernel too :(

QUESTION:

Is there a way that I can revert back to the standard FC4 CCRMA kernel
via apt-get? Is there a way that I can manually trace which packages
were updates/installed as part of the edge upgrade and then manually
remove tham and return to the state of affairs of the standard FC4 CCRMA
kernel??  Any help would be greatly appreciated - sound is essential for
my computer use

cheers,
mp

ps: It seems that the original sounds bug has to do with:

"Short version: (Some?) SBLives on certain motherboards cause bus
problems (even corruption!) and VIA/Creative point fingers at each other
as to whose fault it was (here's a hard won link where VIA points at
Creative
http://web.archive.org/web/20040202025440/http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=
=3D26 ).

different ways the problems manifest and workarounds) and possibly bug
#53803 too.
