Thanks, but... I have plugged two ISA sound cards into the motherboard, they need respectively snd_sb16 and snd_ess modules. When I play with the 'kldload/kldunload' to switch between the cards, or to have them both loaded, then my system spontaneously reboots. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or how to control this problem? Thanks, Rob. __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
