Alsactl not found during boot

[sg.germany]

I installed yesterday a PC with Salix OS v14.01-Xfce-32bit. After the system was ready installed, I restarted the PC. On the first boot the error-message "alsactl not found" was shown. I tried to install the file using gslapt, but the file was not in the repository and not in slackware. What is now wrong ?

Is alsa-utils installed?

In any case, it should be. Maybe the image you downloaded was corrupt. DId you check its md5sum? Or, if you installed using optical media, could be a bad burn.

Are you sure that is the exact error message? I'm thinking you probably misread something. Because alsactl is 100% there.

If you partitioned your drive and /usr is on a separate partition, it could be that alsactl isn't found at the time you see the message during the booting sequence.
