I'm no expert, so maybe I'm wrong here. The command "modinfo snd" showed this result on my system: filename: /lib/modules/2.4.21-ck1/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o description: "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture driver for soundcards." author: "Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" license: "GPL" parm: major int, description "Major # for sound driver." parm: cards_limit int, description "Count of soundcards installed in the system." So this is the "general" module, everything else depends on it. It compiled fine but there's an unresolved symbol, so something is wrong. I remember when I first compiled my kernel that "soundcore" should be compiled as a module for working with ALSA (can't remember if built-in works, too). Check if you have a module called "soundcore" with 'lsmod'. If there is not, *maybe* you'll have to compile the kernel (ask for a second opinion on this, I'm not sure) to enable it. If there is, maybe you should search for incompatibilities elsewhere: gcc version, modutils version, kernel headers not matching *exactly* your kernel version... If all this fails, you could consider compiling the kernel yourself from scratch. It's very time-consuming at first, but you'll learn a lot from Linux if you have the time. There are some good tutorials out there. I'm sorry I can't be of any more help here, fortunately I never had much problems runnig ALSA. Good luck! P.S.: 'depmod -a' will give you a list of problematic modules (if any, which is the case) in your system. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
