I can understand that with 10.2 since it's only alpha3. Sorry if I'm
requesting info that you already provided, but what is the sound card on
your machine? Intel has had problems and there is a fix/workaround. The
CF card I'll need more detail...permission denied can be a plethora of
issues from it being locked to it being mounted RO to there being a udev
issue. If you can give me the udevmonitor output when you put it in and
the details of what happens afterwards (spare the list if you wish),
I'll see if I can help out and if anything search/input a bug on it.
