Message-ID: <3FCFD1AD.40602@ameritech.net> (raw)

I am a litte perplexed.  Is this error message important?

I am running linux-2.6.0-test11 on a modified Mandrake 9.2 rc2 release.
The sound card is playing as I type but on boot I saw:
[
Dec  4 16:44:27 dali kernel: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver 
Version 0.9.7 (Thu Sep 25 19:16:36 20

Dec  4 16:44:27 dali kernel: ALSA device list:
Dec  4 16:44:27 dali kernel:   No soundcards found.
]
but lsmod shows:

As I slowly work my way through the problems I see this:
[

So I do a:

"tree /sys/class" and see:
