I finally installed DSL on my old computer using a Frugal-Grub install. And now whenever I boot, the "AutoConfiguring Devices" fails and I don't have any sound (wMix doesn't show up too).

I checked the GRUB menu.lst file, edited it a couple times and still no luck.

title Damn Small Linux
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda5 vga=791 frugal mydsl=hda1 restore=hda1 home=hda1 host=DSL1 dhcp=yes scsi=no
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

note: Windows98 is hda1, DSL is hda5, swap is hda6

and when I boot from the LiveCD is works fine

Well, I managed to get "Autoconfiguring Devices" to work during boot-up. So now I have sound again, yay!

Here's what I did....
--Booted DSL LiveCD, copied CD image to hda5.

--edited GRUB menu.lst;
title Damn Small Linux
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda5 fromhd=/dev/hda5 vga=791 frugal mydsl=hda1 home=hda1 host=DSL1 dma
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

--rebooted
--Selected Damn Small Linux, and everything boots/configures properly.

Somehow it seems like i've done it the weird way

You did! but if it works for you , then good, you learned something. I don't know if you have tried a Frugal install yet, but for me, that's been the best way to do it.
