Rock! We have a kernel that works
Was this rawhide or FC-3 (fedorappc release)?
Stock FC3 (well, FC 2.91 test) as specified in your doco.

Sure, diff away.
Not really; linux askmethod was so we could get CDROM installs going. I
think we need to fix anaconda, so the doco in place at hte moment makes
room for that
Cool. I'll focus on doing a regular instal then (but also show how to do
a network install in a seperate section).

What does your /etc/modprobe.conf look for sound? Paste the output here
hahahaha. I just looked inside it - it seems s-c-s may have a bug where
it keeps writing the same post module load scripts over and over again...
install snd_powermac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd_powermac &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:
remove snd_powermac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd_powermac
install snd_powermac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd_powermac &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 ||:

remove snd_powermac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd_powermac
Might get rid of the duplicates and retest...
