(Warty) no sound devices created on Dell D-800 laptop.

[Bruce S. Skinner]

Hello Oliver,

Many thanks.  When I tried the pci=noacpi, I got a hang during boot so
I've just disabled the parallel port for now and got sound working.
I'll revisit this later, but I won't booting for a day, as now I'm
busy apt-getting over my 3 KB/s dialup. ;-) ubuntu is great, my
experience with this laptop is going to cause me to throw away 3
Redhat Enterprise Workstation 3 Subscriptions I have as they are too
far behind the new hardware.

regards :-)
