[linux-audio-user] demudi-base config (Newbie)

[tim hall]

Hello

I'm almost as new to Debian and Linux as I am to DeMuDi, so I've kind of 
dropped myself in at the deep end I guess.
I've successfully installed the demudi-2.4.18 kernel, which I must say was 
remarkably smooth i.e. my system still works jus as well as it did before I 
installed the new kernel. Well done to whoever packaged that up!
However, when I get to the point of configuring demudi-base it comes up with:

modprobe: Nothing to load ???
Specify at least a module or a wildcard like \*

and then it hangs. I'm confused. Where should I specify these modules?

Also my system can't find any opti92x module does this mean I have to go 
find/download one? I've been running the bluepoint/OPTi soundcard with mad16 
semi-succesfully up to this point. modprobe won't load seq-oss either which 
makes me suspect I have conflicts with my modules (?) :-/

I will admit to being only about half-way through all the available 
documentation, which _is_ mighty, _especially_ if I was compiling it.
I don't suppose anything like a straightforward demudi install HOWTO exists 
just yet (I guess you're all flat out with current developments).
My eyes are going familiarly wiggly with on-screen reading, so I thought I'd 
dash off a quick email just to see if the list could give me any obvious 
pointers.

forgive me if I'm being an utter twink here. If so, even a brief RTFM 
response would probably give me a significant clue. I include the results of 
my most recent lsmod & dmesg just to illustrate the point.

yours hopefully
