Ok

Now I've got a Dell Inspiron 3000. I know it's old real old, but it was given to me and I'm going to be using it as a firewall/gateway/proxie machine after I get some external usb connected drives for it.

That's not my question.

Ok the Dell has a Crystal CS 4237B sound card. And i have looked around for a solution.

I found one that seemed acceptable at http://www.ps.uci.edu/~tomba/inspiron/#sound except it calls for the editing of /etc/conf.modules and that file doesn't exist.(or am I just blind???) All the other possible solutions that this site presents for the configuration of the card incorporate /etc/conf.modules so my question is (i'm about to search this forum once more for Crystal stuff, and go from there.)

Does /etc/conf.modules exist? and if not is there another way that I could set my card up???

Well I've found some stuff from the dsl site, teach me not to look at every forum in depth.

Thought I'd say that before someone shouted at me for not searching forums. However I have more to add to the last post.

I've got DSL configured with the multi-boot option. So it doesn't just rush right into XDM. it says after it checks my filesystem and starts up my PCMCIA devices and the Automounter kicks in

cloop: Initialising cloop v2.01
Restoring mixer settings: modprobe: modeprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0

modprobe: modeprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 failed.

then it goes into login.

I got the Crystal 4237B off a site stating what the Inspiron 3000's have. (it also says that the manuals say they have a CS 4232.

I looked around this site and used these commands

" rmmod soundcore "
" modprobe uart401 "
" modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5 "

as that's what it recommended.

first two lines of code go through fine

I initially substituted cs4232 for cs4237b and the terminal returns
# Can't locate module cs4237b

So I returned cs4232 to the code line and this is what I get

# /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o init_module: No such device

Then it gives me a Hint about incorrect module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ paramaters, so I went back to the site mentioned in the last post as it had a note about IRQ 5 causing some trouble and to replace it with IRQ 8 so I did that and tried again. I get the following after the hint no matter what IRQ I use

# /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o failed

/lib/modules/2.4.26/..../cs4232.0: insmod cs4232 failed

So I'm back where I started and no sound chuckle, I'll get there eventually. Anyone have pointers or a solution???
