Hi,
I have installed CentOS 4 beta and everything works apart from the sound. Searching online I have found that Fedora Core 3 requires upgrading ALSA to the very latest version for sound to work on this laptop, that probaly means that I need to upgrade ALSA.
Is there anytwhere I can get updates RPMs/SRPMs or do I have to compile the updates? AFAIK alsa is now part of the kernel, will this cause much trouble for future upgrades?
Talking about kernels, is it possible to update the kernel to 2.6 on CentOS 3 without breaking much?
Thanks
Gabriel

Add snd-intel8x0m to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. You may have to add "modprobe snd-intel8x0" (without the 'm') to rc.local.
Reboot.

After getting the sound working (thanks Timothy!) now I have two more issues with my Compaq V2000 laptop/CentOS 4beta:
-The time/date does not seem to get stored. I change it everyday but it just doesn't seem to save it, the next time I reboot I get a date in Jan and the time goes back at least 4 hours (it doesn't seem to be a fixed amount). I would just run ntpd but the computer is not always online. Any suggestions? Sometimes it complains about not being able to access rtc on shutdown.
-Changing the mouse settings (a synaptic pad) so I can have left click on tap instead of middle click crashes the computer solid (not even a ping), no log.
-Are there any apt sources for Beta4? None of the lists I have found work and most of them don't even seem to mirror beta.caosity.org (and knowing what the bandwidth bill came up to I'd rather not use the main server).
-glib-config is missing from glib-devel. This seems to be a RHEL bug (at least judging by my searches) that can be fixed by installin the Fedora Core 3 rpm.
Apart from that I have to say that CentOS is the only distribution I have gotten to work on this computer and that it is looking very good.
Thanks
Gabriel

Using beta.centos.org is the only way to update the beta distros ... we don't push the beta tree to mirrors. We have the cost for beta.centos.org sorted out {I think :)}, so there shouldn't be a problem with getting updates from there.
-glib-config is missing from glib-devel. This seems to be a RHEL bug (at least judging by my searches) that can be fixed by installin the Fedora Core 3 rpm.
thanks for the info ... is this issue causing major problems for you? I would rather not push anything before the RC1 is released at this point (soon after the RH EL4 official release). Also, we normally don't fix items like this until they are fixed upstream.
If you need me to build it, point me to a bug entry that discusses which version of the glibc SRPM to use and i'll build the SRPM and make it downloadable from my personal website though.
Thanks, I'll use the beta server then.
glib-devel is not that much of a problem, as I have installed the Fedora Core 3 rpm and it now works, I just wanted to report the bug.
