From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: The system has the following sound card installed: ESS Technology ES1968 Maestro 2 Every time the box starts up, kudzu pops up and: 1. Says that it detected the card was removed 2. Of course, if you say remove config, it will say that it detected it Needless to say, it gets quite annoying fast. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kudzu-1.1.95-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot the box 2. wait for kudzu to startup Actual Results: I'm always asked about the soundcard, even though it was configured on a previous boot. Expected Results: Once configured, I shoudn't be asked to reconfigure it on every boot. Additional info:
Can you attach /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and the output of 'kuzdu -p' from single user mode?
Created attachment 109113 [details] As requested
Created attachment 109115 [details] Output of 'kudzu -p' in single user mode
If you remove the second AUDIO/PCI entry from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, does it stop prompting you?
Yes, it does.
OK, somehow you got a second entry in the file. Odd.
Yes, it's been there for some time, I believe the box was upgraded all the way from RH9 -> FC2 -> FC3test3 -> FC3 (it may have been even before RH9, like RH7.x, but I can't remember if I did an upgrade or a clean install). In any event nothing I did from kudzu seemed to fix it. We can only hope it was caused by a kudzu bug that is long gone :).
Not sure where to go for here. Closing as deferred; please reopne if the second entry comes back.
