Dear I386 List, Please forgive me if there would have been a better place to post this, but I was not sure... I have been hjaving problems getting my machine to inistialize the sound syustem at boot time when it is statically compiled into the kernel. I have added device sound device snd_ich to my kernel config and recompiled a couple of times - which the manual seems to hint is all I needed to do - but the sound kernel module is not loaded at startup. I have also attempted device snd since the sound man page seemed to suggest that the [device sound / snd_*] prefixes were going to be standardized. Again, the kernel compiles with these options but when installed, does not start the sound subsystem. I have been manually starting it via kldload, and finally included it in my loader.conf for now - which works fine - but I would prefer to have this compiled into the kernel. I am pretty sure this was all I needed under 6.1 when I had it on this machine some time ago, but it's been so long that I can't remember whether there was another line in the config. Also, this may be related, but when compiling, the whole process runs and I get the three line banner stating that kernel compilation is complete. However, after that message, make tells me that it "does not know how to compile QSKERNEL" (QSKERNEL being the name of my kernel). It spits out a similar warning after it completes installation. Is this significant? Am I not actually installing the patched kernels? or is this just an untidy finish that make spits out by default? Thanks very much for your help! ~ Jeff
