Did you specify your card in your make.conf?
i.e:
If not you need to specify it, and recompile alsa. Check for your card on the supported cards list on alsa. _________________ "Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy" -- Benjamin Franklin |

thanks for the reply, sadly I've messed the computer up even worse now. It get's to the lilo boot screen and then hangs. So I have to sort that out first. |
