That is what typically causes the "unknown: can't assign resources" error messages. Try taking it out of the kernel config and giving things another go. If you still get the line in dmesg about pcm0 being an unknown ac97 codec, yes, I'm afraid it may not be fully supported yet. David Yucht On Tue, 8 Jul 2003, Dennis wrote: > Thanks for your help!
