I just booted the new kernel (kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3) this morning.
Everything ran cleanly except that I lost sound.
I fired up gnome-volume-control, and found out that my integrated sound
card had mysteriously reappeared. Since I don't have speakers attached
to that sound card, I had no sound.
Interestingly, the integrated sound card is disabled in BIOS (Dell
8200).
I took a look at /etc/modprobe.conf, and there were some changes made by
the kernel rpm installation.
My alias for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card had been changed
from:
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx
to:
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-0
I also lost the following line:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
I have /etc/modprobe.conf under RCS control, and it is checked out but
not locked. This means the file is read-only and I only edit it after
doing a co -l on the file.
There was no reason for the kernel install to change my modprobe.conf
file. I guess I need to file a bug report.
