Release Found: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3

Symptom:
No soundcard is installed but a modprobe error message is still displayed on shutdown/reboot while in a runlevel 5.

Solution:
By default KDE/GNOME both look for 2 sound devices. We will disable both sound devices by modifying our /etc/modules.conf file and append the following lines :

alias sound-slot-0 off alias sound-service-0-0 off alias sound-slot-1 off alias sound-service-1-0 off

If there are any other lines related to sound you can comment them out by placing a # at the beginning of the line, for example :

# alias sound-soundcore-0
