[CLUE-Tech] Sound Card for Mandrake 9.0 - 9.1 - "lsmod" outputs

[Joe Linux]

Here is comparison of the "lsmod" output for the two systems.  Basically Knoppix contains the following six lines relating to my sound card which does work in Knoppix. The Mandrake "lsmod" output contains no such lines.
Knoppix Lines:
awe_wave              155520   0 (unused)
sb                      7764   0
sb_lib                 33358   0 [sb]
uart401                 6020   0 [sb_lib]
sound                  54572   0 [awe_wave sb_lib uart401]
soundcore               3396   6 [sb_lib sound]

As for the /etc/modules.conf file, It is extensive in Knoppix and minimal in Mandrake:  I will send that comparison in a following message.

Entire lsmod output:
