Hi all

I have two differen LFS systems and noticed that on one of them,
/dev/snd/seq is missing and therefore midi stuff does not work.


The working one is the older one based on LFS 7.6 and uses  eudev 2.1

The broken one is based on LFS 7.9 and uses eudev 3.1.5


Both currently run the same kernel version 4.4.39, with exactly the same
kernel config.

Has anymody expierienced the same problem?

In the most current kernel, there is an option:

CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER

Is that set?

Yes, it's set:

CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y


As mentioned, the kernels are the same versions with the same options in both systems. The one clear difference of both systems is eudev (2.1, which works, and 3.1.5, which does not load the module).


If I do a

modprobe snd-seq


then /dev/snd/seq is created and midi works well. But on the old system, this seems to happen automatically.

I can of course fix this by adding modprobe snd-seq to an /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf, but I wonder why the old system does this automatically, while the new one doesn't.

Bye
