I have installed the latest kernel from the Lucid repositories and am 
still having sound issues under windows I think (I will need to double 
check this). Booting from a Lucid live cd produces sound under Win 7, 
but if I install the Lucid kernel into Karmic I don't get sound in Win 7 
(I will double check this) the same as I don't using the native karmic 
kernels. If I verify that I am not getting sound what should I look at 
to determine why?
More importantly after installing the Lucid kernel into Karmic I had the 
following problems:
1).    The system would not hotplug a flash disk when the Lucid kernel 
was the active kernel (I will need to check that it is still active 
under the standard karmic kernels). I haven't checked as yet whether 
hotplugging is active under the Lucid live cd.
2).    When I installed the Lucid kernel into karmic I also updated the 
nvidia proprietary video driver and dkms. Installing this driver and 
dkms disabled the nvidia driver in all kernels, and even though dkms 
said the driver was installed in the dkms tree I had to issue 
dpkg-reconfigure -plow nvidia-current in all kernels to get the nvidia 
driver active again. Why was this necessary?

regards,
Steve
