1 If the kernel detects your soundcard, but you still can't get sound
2 working, try this:
3
4 mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3
5
6 As far as I can tell the sys.tar.bz2 doesn't have a /dev/dsp device by
7 default. Why? Not sure.
8
9 Also, I think that gentoo would be more "user-friendly" if it has dhcp
10 installed by default (or at least easily enabled).
11
12 And another thing, I added the following to my /etc/rc.d/init.d/modules:
13
14 if [ ! -d /lib/modules/${KERNVERS} ]
15 then
16 exit 0
17 fi
18
19 If you compile a kernel that has no modules, this prevents it from getting
20 errors on startup.
