Sound is apparently ESS1946 chipset

On boot the sound is detected, got sound out although after tweaking the audio put just got stuck on noise out. Seems to load module 'esssolo1', so this might not be exactly the correct module?

[Edit]Finally! The 'myDSL' GUI page loads up properly! So much for me going through and downloading all the modules on this main PC :;):

Yeah! ibiblio has been really stubborn today..
There were many times today that it was non-existant..
I'd be careful, as I expect more outages..

Sound: Try running these commands from a root shell .

rmmod soundcore
modprobe esssolo1

Let us know if you get errors..
Might need to load other modules first..

Also , the alsadebs.dsl package has worked for me in getting
stubborn soundcards to "speak" !

What partition are you trying to install to?
Did it even run the install script?
Do you have your hard drive set to "large" blocks (LBA) in your computer's bios ?

The myDSL GUI is really great! Just got some more themes, wavemon and even firefox (bit slow but hey it works)

Well 'rmmod soundcore' said 'modules in use' (noticed in lsmod list that a gameport was listed under the esssolo1 part), so couldnt get them disabled. Ran modprobe esssolo1 anyway, got no errors returned.

I have tried to instal on /dev/hda6 (free space on my drive after M$ 2K), ran the script and it says 'Sorry system has not detected a linux partition'.

Didnt see any LBA stuff in the BIOS.

Bit late to check that sort of thing, will do that tomorrow. Cheers for you help so far.... 72 2E1LOK / K2 #2448

[edit]Killed the wmix process, but rmmod soundcore still says 'modules in use'[/edit]
