Re: Help, loadlin doesn't work anymore!

I don't know how much help I can be, but the same thing happened to me this
afternoon on MY 755cd.  The only way around it I found was to recompile the
kernel without APM support.  I hope there's a better answer out there.

You've had functioning sound on your 755CD under Linux?  Do tell!!
