[Alsa-devel] unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk with alsa-driver-0.9.8 (also with 0.9.7c)

[Paul Hanly \(Hotmail\)]

unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk with alsa-driver-0.9.8 (also with 0.9.7c)   System Background: My system is a recently installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 with kernel-sources installed. I am trying ALSA to get sound from a Vortex au8820. I am a noobie but posting here because this is where other messages about similar problems are in the archives. I am happy to provide other info as requested, but will have some delays - I am trying Mandrake on a wintel 486 about 3 years old but with linux on a separate drive. I have lots of problems with unsupported devices such as camera, scanner, winmodem (trying Linuxant and can dial but not connect yet).   Issue Background: After Reading and following http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=Quick+Install+-+snd-au88x0 I had the following issues.   These issues have been exactly the same with alsa-driver-0.9.7c.tar.bz2 and alsa-driver-0.9.8 after patching as per the patch (a posting by Eric Hathaway) at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/maillist.html#09813 which makes changes  to a file with Khexedit so it appears to have been compiled with gcc3 rather than 2 and adds several lines to various makefiles that seemed to be missing from the alsa drivers compared to the ones at Openvortex at Savannah.   Before doing the suggested patching there were other problems with unresolved symbols as per that page, but after the patching the only one left is .   [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-utils-0.9.8]# modprobe snd-au8820;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss; modprobe snd-seq-oss /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed modprobe: insmod snd-au8820 failed /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed modprobe: insmod snd-pcm-oss failed /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed modprobe: insmod snd-mixer-oss failed /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed modprobe: insmod snd-seq-oss failed [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-utils-0.9.8]# I made sure the kernel-source was installed:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-utils-0.9.8]# urpmi kernel-source Everything already installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-utils-0.9.8]#   I note that there is another post in the user list with the same problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09716.html but with no answers. I note he also uses Mandrake 9.1 as do I.   I could not find any resolution to this problem in a search of the archives, although I found four posts with the general issue of unresolved symbols that mentioned the same one, but among several others.   A www.google.com search for "unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk" shows 37 posts, so this appears not to be an isolated problem. From the search results it appears to have been an issue across distros and for a number of alsa-driver releases.   I would be most grateful if anyone can help.   Cheers Paul
