My cursed Dell E6400 is turning up more issues I recall ever seeing
 in my 13.5 years of Linuxing -- wireless is unsupported in vanilla,
 X/VT switching moans, MTRR still complains, microcode WARNs on
 boot - and the joys of 64-bit Firefox with gnash and IcedTea...

And now, sound only works in Fedora 10 with the F10 kernel, that is:

2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64

 but not with any vanilla kernel I built. So it might be me, of course; but
 the ALSA modules seem the same in the two kernels - where applicable
 (recent kernels have a hda-intel-codec module that doesn't seem to be
 loaded in the F10 kernel).

The GNOME volume control applet shows up many knobs in F10, only
 two in my kernel (Master and PCM). No sound at all in any configuration,
 be it Pulseaudio, ALSA or OSS.

Attaching lsmod and alsa-info.sh from both kernels, any help would be
 very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
