So I reboot and no sound. So I run system-config-soundcard again and this time it
finds dev/dsp and I have sound. Should I expect sound to work on reboot now?
Or what am I doing wrong?
Depends on what you had cut out from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and
whether kudzu detected your soundcard as NEW and what you have got
in /etc/modprobe.conf currently.
