    Hi-

    I just decided to switch from RedHat to Debian and so far am very
    impressed. I purchased a Dell Dimension 4600 and installed Woody. I
    then switched to unstable. I found Crafterm's site that had the .deb
    files for the kernel 2.4.21 and installed them so that my network card
    would work. On that site he has a file that talks about the audio card
    and the problems with the SB Live that Dell ships. So I removed that
    card and enabled the onboard sound. He then talks about installing
    2.4.22 of the kernel. I looked and could not find any packages to do
    this, so I thought if I have to compile a kernel I might as well try out
    2.6.0-test4. The comile seemed to go fine but when I boot into this new
    kernel I get the following message:
            
             Starting ALSA (unknown version): failed - ALSA modules not installed

    Everything else seems to work, my NIC and video and the machine actually
    seems faster. But I need sound. Ok I don't need it but I sure would
    like it<grin>

    I have searched Google and groups and can't find this message in anyway
    that appears to fit my error. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers to
    places where I can get a fix. I would even go back to a previous kernel
    if need be.

    Thanks for the help.
    Kevin
