I downloaded the 2.6.7 source from kernel.org, compiled it and booted
without a problem, except I have no sound. It complains about an error
initializing sound drive. I'm running an old SB16 clone, so I doubt there's
anything particular wonderous or weird about the hardware, and it works fine
under 2.4.22. What am I missing?

When I attempt to run alsamixer, I get the following error:

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

From this, I can gather that, no matter what modules may be loaded, the
Soundblaster card is not being initialized. Is there something I have to
change on boot up? I gather from the module list that I'm still loading the
OSS drivers, so what else do I need to do?

Well, it was but it wasn't. I fixed the problem by entering in rc.modules
/sbin/modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=3 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x300

2.4.22 had no problem with "/sbin/modprobe sb", so obviously there is
difference between the 2.6.7 driver and 2.4.22 one.

2.6.7 switched to alsa by default. Do you need to modprobe snd_cardname? Did
you compile the right alsa modules?

I'll have to go check, but I do think you're right, and I'm loading the
legacy OSS drivers. I did compile all sound drivers, including OSS
emulation. Not that I'm terribly worried about it. It's an older machine,
and my main interest sound-wise is in playing CDs and MP3s. My big test of
2.6.7 will be whether the DLink DWL-520 802.11b card I just bought off of
EBay will work with it.
