Hello guys,
I set up my system(hybrid core) with great help from L3mce. Upon setting up the MD I could not hit the AV wizard. the MD was on reboot loop with message on the boot load about failing nvidia driver installation.
L3mce helped me to comment out a line in moon42's etc/init.d/nvidia...(dont remember) and upon reboot I hit the AV wizard but had a very hard time to chose my resolutions. the AVwizard showed two option for the audio card but none worked. Basically I dont have sound coming out of the MD.
I have geoforce GT430 graphic card but I had to chose lower resolution as the driver is not installed.
I have Asus Xonar D2 PCI sound card on the system.
I believe the motherboard has an on board sound chip as well.
OH , not to mention, the GT430 should be able to decode sound too...!
dpkg --configure -a does not give any output on the MD.
What should be my next step? Do I have to manually install the driver?
Please let me know. Thanks.

*Watching this as I also have the GT430 and haven't been able to get HDMI sound working.

Hi... Firstly, I am terrible with card numbers. I only know them by pciid.
Then I could see what was supposed to happen, and why, and how to change it.
Keep in mind that there is a new parameter now in /etc/pluto.conf (if needed) AlternateSC. Set it to = 0 or 1 or 2 and see if you can get audio that way. They make these changes on the fly so what I do, at avwiz, is to back up to where I select an audio card, change the value in /etc/pluto.conf then go the audio part again, if I cant check it, press escape back to step5 and change the value again and choose the card again.

My bad, mine's actually a GT440, but likely similar to the 430. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 440] [10de:0de0] (rev a1) Will try the AlternateSC thing and report back. |

Note, L3mce somehow managed to get HDMI sound working for me, but he hasn't yet been able to nail down the process well enough to work it into the installer. (...yet?)

I upgraded his kernel to Natty.
sudo -i
Then dump the rest of this.
CurKernel="-generic"
if uname -r | grep "pae"; then CurKernel="-generic-pae"; fi
NewKernel="linux-image${CurKernel}-lts-backport-natty"
NewHeaders="linux-headers${CurKernel}-lts-backport-natty"
apt-get -yf install "$NewKernel"
apt-get -yf install "$NewHeaders"
apt-get update
apt-get -yf dist-upgrade
reboot
If your MD will not boot again, sudo chmod +r /tftpboot/XX/* where XX is your moon number.

If your MD will not boot again, sudo chmod +r /tftpboot/XX/* where XX is your moon number. Sorry for stupid question, are these steps to be done on MD or on Core itself? |

There was also a requirement to change line 225 (i think) in SetupAudioVideo.sh from
device = 7
to
device = 9.

Although, in l3mce's lastest ssh session on my fresh install, there was still something borked after doing everything described above, so it's still a work in progress as I understand it.

Correct. I forgot about that. Almost everything on planet nVidia uses 7... this one uses 9. So what I did, as a hack, was to change SetupAudioVideo.sh line 225 and changed CardDevice="7" to CardDevice="9" |

Hello guys,
I am tagging this thread as solved because my original issue has been resolved. I rebuilt the MD image and this time driver got installed without any problem.
For the sound issue , we will discuss in different thread. As of now, as a video card, GT 430 worked out of the box.
