alsa refuses to see that pci card, even when alsaconf is probing.

I've built the sound modules straight into the kernel.

I'm very confused :-(

Can anyone help?

Check into dmesg to see what does it say when the emu10k1 driver tries to load.

I think I need to increase the size of the dmesg dump - at the moment it's just listing my firewall settings being activated. How do I go about doing that?

From dmesg man page
Code:

       -sbufsize
              Use a buffer of size bufsize to query the  kernel  ring  buffer.
              This  is  16392  by  default.  (The default kernel syslog buffer
              size was 4096 at first, 8192 since 1.3.54, 16384 since 2.1.113.)
              If  you have set the kernel buffer to be larger than the default
              then this option can be used to view the entire buffer.


If your kernel buffersize is not larger than (usually isnt, I think) then you need to reboot. Then just booted try dmesg again. If the problem is that the console buffer is smaller and it does not scroll up, then just dump it to a file and then edit the file to read it.

Code:

dmesg > dmesg.log
