    I have these lines in /etc/modules, but it does not help:
    snd-intel8x0
    snd_pcm_oss
    Something else to test?

    I have hotplug installed (I never got my USB working until I installed
    hotpug). But that is not the solution.

    Due to the docs in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, /etc/rcS.d/S50alsa-utils should be
    the right choice to restore alsa settings.

    Do you know how to switch /var/log/boot.log (or similar) on? I definitely do
    not have the boot messages written into a log file. See this:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4036 Dec 29 2003 boot
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3306 Dec 11 2003 boot.0
    It stopped ~Dec 29th 2003.
    Some experiments with /etc/syslog.conf and local7.* just generated an empty
    file.

    Regards, Tim
