jpeters,
I had a typo, should be

# find . -not -type d > /tmp/libc6.list

I snuck in my post at work and didn't list all the steps. Here is the .dsl that works here if anyone who is new to DSL would like to give it a try. It is basically the full package minus any empty directories if there were any:

EDIT: Use the libc6-2.3.2-22sarge6.dsl extension in the testing area.

For some reason, I get a crash unless ALSA is loaded...thus I suspect it contains libraries that flash 9 requires. Unfortunately, alsa conflicts with my soundcard, so the tradeoff is no sound.

I know this is a very simple question, and I am sure you already have covered these bases, but did you boot with the alsa cheatcode, or remove the loaded oss modules first before running alsaconf? I have not had flash crash due to lack of sound, but I do not have your hardware configuration either. Also, which sound card do you have?

EDIT: Actually, I did have a freeze when I opened Firefox to play a Youtube video when I already had Xine running. But that was the only circumstance that Flash has even hiccuped so far.

I have a maestro-3i soundcard in a Dell latitude laptop. I tried removing the ac97_codec module, but it was busy; I reloaded anyway with modprobe.

Yes, I booted with "alsa" which reported "alsa(autodetect)". I also loaded the oss emulator, and at least xmms works now (it didn't previously). I'm getting a lot of alsa snd-function lib errors when running flash 9, because it can't find the files or directiory.

alsaconf reports it can't find the card database.

There's probably a way to set this up correctly, but I'll have to put it on back burner until I have time to do more research.

Edit: It appears the ESS driver is problematic (such as allowing only one stream), although there is a maestro3 alsa driver. Maybe it's not in the alsa4 extension?

edit2: can't find any of the snd modules: ie, modprobe snd-card-maestro3, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss, etc.)
"modinfo soundcore" correctly lists core sound module.

One more thing, if you are using DSL 4.x are you using the alsa4dslv2.dsl that is in testing? Because the one in the system area has bad permissions in /lib/modules and will probably not work as is, at least it did not for me. That is why it was updated recently.
