Thanks for your reply, Patrick. I am not having quite the same luck ;-)
I downloaded and installed kernel 2.4.8-0.4c from the Yellow Dog ftp site,
based on your suggestion, but still cannot get any sound.
I was looking in rc.sysinint, and located the following code, which I think
is wrong or outdated, because it fails when I boot the machine:
<snip>
# Load sound modules
#
# I think this now qualifies as over-engineered.
RETURN=0
alias=`egrep -s "^alias[[:space:]]+sound[[:space:]]+" /etc/modules.conf | awk
'{ print $3 }'`
if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ] ; then
action "Loading sound module ($alias): " modprobe $alias
RETURN=$?
fi
alias=`egrep -s "^alias[[:space:]]+sound-slot-0[[:space:]]+"
/etc/modules.conf | awk '{ print $3 }'`
if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ] ; then
action "Loading sound module ($alias): " modprobe $alias
RETURN=$?
fi
alias=`egrep -s "^alias[[:space:]]+midi[[:space:]]+" /etc/modules.conf | awk
'{ print $3 }'`
if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ]; then
action "Loading midi module ($alias): " modprobe $alias
fi
# Load mixer settings
if grep -q "\(sparcaudio\|sound\)" /proc/devices 2>/dev/null && [ $RETURN -eq
0 -a -f /etc/.aumixrc -a -x /bin/aumix-minimal ]; then
action "Loading mixer settings: " /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
fi
if [ -f /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe ]; then
if [ -n "$USEMODULES" ]; then
sysctl -w kernel.modprobe="/sbin/modprobe" >/dev/null 2>&1
else
# We used to set this to NULL, but that causes 'failed to exec'
messages"
sysctl -w kernel.modprobe="/bin/true" >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
fi
</snip>
Is the dmasound module the thing I ought to be using on a cube? If so, what
is the correct way to load it?

I have YDL 2.0 with a 2.4.8 kernel, and sound works, without me having
done anything special.
