Any udev errors? > Do you have /sys/class/sound/* directories? I don't know how to track down udev errors, unfortunately. I now suspect that the problems I am having with network device names getting messed up and this problem with the sound drivers spring from the same cause (some failure in device setup in udev). Any suggestions on how to track down udev issues are most appreciated! I am curious to know whether this is a bug in udev or in the kernel code.
