    Hi, I get this message when logging into my account & in the root
    account also. "error while initializing the sounddriver /dev/dsp can't
    be opened (permission denied) The sound server will continue using the
    null output device. From the kde menu clicking on information > sound
    brings up this message: "There was an error loading the module the
    diagnostics is:"
    No diagnostics are provided.
    PCI Info gives: 00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller:,
                    VIA technologies, Inc. AC97 AudioController (rev50)
                    Subsystem: VIA Technologies. Inc Unknown device 4511
                    flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
                    I/O ports at 9c00 (size=256)
                    I/0 ports at a000 (size=4)
                    I/O ports at a400 (size=4)

    Also although I have followed the grub help, man pages and advice here I
    still cannot get debian or slackware to boot from the grub floppy. I
    almost always get an "error 15 file or filesystem not found" I haven't
    installed grub to the MBR because I wanted to be sure I could boot
    everything from it and I can't. I can boot SuSE and windoze. Also
    entering grub from the command line and doing "root (" didn't get me
    disks/disk info. Would lilo be easier to set-up? Debian is on hdb5 a
    logical partition. I boot to deb & slack from a floppy. Thanks
