Thanks for the lead.
alsa-base-conf shows 2 kernel modules loaded from previous computer!!
Seems Puppy Studio updated a previous .sfs file on its initial run.
Will try starting again tomorow with pfix=ram. (Now after midnight in Sydney!)

Having used Ubuntu Studio for some years and Puppy ever since Puppy 1xx, I am excited about Puppy Studio. Great distro! But no sound! I can get sound on Windows and Ubuntu 10.10 but not on Puppy Studio or on Wary 092. Printout of audio devices (onboard audio + Creative sound card) from lspci: Onboar...

My apologies - forgot to attach output.

Attached.

sunburst, thx for the clarification. I'm running Puppy 4.2.1 live and the attached file is the output from lsmod. Only 52 modules loaded? Is that correct? Of the 52 entries, 32 relate to the sound system. So it is no wonder that Puppy manages sound files and codecs better than others. One entry (snd...

OK so how does Barry (or yourself in the case of Pizzapup) decide which drivers to include in the kernel (or rather which to leave out), seeing that Puppy manages to find all my hardware and provide drivers out of the box. Puppy does this better than Ubuntu, especially with sound cards. BTW I checke...

http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7536/1.html Article is optimistic about the kernel developers' ability to trim the kernel when size affects performance more obviously. How does Puppy manage to keep small when the kernel has almost doubled from 2.6.11 to 2.6.30? (Even 2.6.30 has 20,000 more lines of ...

Hairy Will,

After trying unsuccessfully to sort out what was happening to xorg.conf, I upgraded further to 2.16.1 and had no problem.

Thanks again for your feedback and help.

Will I booted the new 216 DVD using the boot instruction puppy pfix=nox then checked xorg.conf before it tried to start X and got the following (snippets) Section "Server Layout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 00 (not sure why the zeros are there) Sect...

Will, .xnitrc has the lines as you posted them for rox1 and rox2. "rox -v .....Filer 1" gives no output. "rox -v .....Filer 2" gives "ROX-Filer 2.5" Where do I find the rox configuration file which might have a clue as to the crash? What about the other error message ab...

I am having the same problem that aggie2015 had last Tuesday with X not starting. Burnt the iso to DVD and upgrade went well until it came to setting up xwin. xorgwizard goes OK but after a flash of the X window graphics it reverts to error messages. xerrs.log: (EE) failed to load module "glx&q...
