No built in audio, via hal or oss, after building kernel with 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2'. WORKAROUND: rebuild kernel with 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.22-r2'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rebuild kernel (2.6.23-gentoo-r3) using 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2' 2.replace current kernel with new kernel 3.reboot Actual Results: No sound via alsa or oss Expected Results: Sound via alsa and oss WORKAROUND: 1. echo "=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2" >> /etc/portage/package.mask 2.'emerge -DNauv world' (rollback to 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.22-r2') 2.rebuild kernel (2.6.23-gentoo-r3) using 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.22-r2' 3.replace current kernel with new kernel 4.reboot

Would you mind confirming this once more? It's a very strange bug report because the kernel does not build against linux-headers, or use it in any way. Another interesting experiment would be temporarily unmerging linux-headers and building a kernel without linux-headers installed. It will compile just fine.
I was not aware that linux-headers were not used while compiling the kernel. If this is the case, my symptoms are indeed odd. After rereading my bug report, the only error I find is typographical and in the first line. No built in audio, via hal or oss, after building kernel with 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2'. should be: No built in audio, via alsa or oss, after building kernel with 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2'.
I'm a victim of sabotage, or an idiot. I fear it is the latter that ails me. I unmasked and emerged the linux-headers in question, rebuilt the kernel, and all is well as far as audio is concerned. My apologies for wasting anyone's time that gave this a second, or even a first, thought. Now all I have to do is figure out what I did to break my audio the first three times I rebuilt my kernel.
