hi, i just want to know, why the kernelspace-part of alsa is splitted into a part which is in the kernel, and another part which is module-only. I own an old Aureal Vortex 1 Card which works only with alsa, when i want to use 2.6. And because I need to use 2.6, i tried to build&patch my kernel, and I have to say, its a mess... I have to use 2.6.1rc3, with the old alsa 0.97, which dont support my card. It would be cool if there is a patch, which replaces the old alsa with the new one, with all supported cards in it and so on... but i could not find...
But well i downloaded the newest alsa-drivers-archive from alsa-org, read readme/install files, had a "working" kernel tree, lots of patching occures during configure, compiling breaks with an error, that *PDE has multiple definitions in proc_fs (kernel) and somewhere in alsa-driver..., commented out the alsa-definition of PDE, and it sucessfully compiled.. I got all the modules, installed and so on. But, when I tried load them, it didnt work. dmesg says: snd_page_alloc: Unknown symbol pte_offset snd_page_alloc: Unknown symbol VMALLOC_VMADDR snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_get_reserved snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_free_reserved snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_free_pages snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_malloc_pages snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_set_reserved snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_alloc_pages snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_free_pages snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_new snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_format_physical_width snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_ioctl snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_free_pages snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_set_ops snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_integer snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pci_pages_for_all snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed snd_au8820: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_step ok, i thought, maybe you have to recompile the kernel, because something could have changed.. I did and spent another bunch of time, reboot, and, the same... so now, what is the problem.. the kernel-alsa-modules are loaded, only my new au8820-module dont want... Then i started to read around, found some hints to copy the whole alsa-driver/alsa-kernel into the kernel-tree, and many other but no specific information. So now i spent so much time, only for getting some sound out of the machine... I am depressed, can anyone tell me why... ;-) thanks, Andre. ______________________________________________________________________________ Erdbeben im Iran: Zehntausende Kinder brauchen Hilfe.
