Back when I was playing with my earlier 560/570 IBMs, I seem to remember tempestuous posting something about this, but don't remember details....there were ACPI/power problems with some of these lappys
....perhaps a pm would sort it out?

from a debian install ref

Sound

The following sound modules were installed with associated parameters (if any):

* OSS
* ad1848
* uart401
* cs4232 0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

Loading Sound Modules

I've found that I've needed to load the ThinkPad sound modules later in the boot process, otherwise sound works poorly (crackles, skipping and generally just wrong . Therefore, I've commented out the ad1848, uart401 and cs4232 sound modules from /etc/modules and instead created a start up script to be run later at boot time. You can have these modules load after networking and other essential services that may potentially interfere (I never bothered to figure out exactly what the problem is) by naming it something like S79sound in your /etc/rc<2-5>.d directories (linking to ../init.d/sound preferably):

#!/bin/sh
#
# sound - start sound subsystem modules
#
# 2002-12-30,jtk

case $1 in

start)
echo "Starting sound subsystem..."
insmod isa-pnp
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
;;

stop)
echo "Stopping sound subsystem..."
rmmod cs4232
rmmod uart401
rmmod ad1848
rmmod isa-pnp
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;

esac
exit 0

I have had to load the isa-pnp, ad1848, uart410 and cs4232 modules near the end of my system's boot process in startup files to avoid problems with the sound system. I stopped testing at some point, but I had to assume that the sound modules conflict with some other service(s) that load before it so the order in which they load is important. Since I'm using the older OSS modules now, I'm not going to worry about this much as I do plan on moving to the ALSA sound system at some point in the future.

but this is pre-alsa....[OSS] so may not be applicable

I got the latest 214x and devx pet from the first post, I'm planning to make a new live CD and compile the latest ClamAV for 214x. I just completed a PET for 431 last weekend http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57630

Hi yorkie but I might wait a couple of hours if I was you, I'm currently finishing up the next version and this one will have a new gcc which some apps depend on.

Ps thanks for the ClamAV in advance

(quick server pages) is a simple, complete solution for developing database-driven dynamic web sites. It includes its own embedded SQL database which stores data in ascii text files, and optionally can include an embedded data charting package (ploticus).

Not a big deal,the connection wizard took care of it quickly.
Well, turns out I'm losing the internet connection at every reboot...... connection is not persistent. And I'm using old fashioned wired DSL......
