I run kde(currently 3.5.1) on linux-2.6.12.5 on my Dell Inspiron 510m
notebook
which has an Intel ICH4-M chipset and everything is fine, however i have a
problem with all more recent kernels, in that when kde starts, kmix displays
a splashscreen which won't go away. If I try to move the mixer control, is
just resets itself to zero.

I can't see any obvious difference regarding the devices/permission and I
have
done a diff (attached) between the kernel config files, but nothing is
obvious regarding sound devices.

I even get the problem if I disable sound support in the kernel!

I want to run a newer kernel, so that I can use some new hardware.

I think that the old kernel was compiled with gcc-3.4.x, whereas the new one
used gcc-4.0.2


I did some googling, and found one or two similar problems, but no solutions
were mentioned.


Does anyone have any ideas about this?


My old Athlon 750 desktop works fine with all kernels.
