Re: No Sound after install

[Doug McMahon <dougmcmahon blueyonder co uk>]

Hi

I managed to get through the install routine (I have not done this
before in Linux) but alas it said my kernel wasn't supported. I presume
this is because i'm using a kernel that was updated by RHN to the very
latest and they havn't caught up with it yet.  Is there anything else I
can try?

Thanks for your help,

Doug McMahon
