Thanks for the advice. I'm following the BLFS 6.1 book (the current stable version) where there is no mention of the 15-alsa.rules script.
You may have reasons for following the stable book, but I would suggest following the SVN book if you're using LFS-6.2. What version of LFS are you using. More importantly, are you using the hotplug package? What version of udev are you using?
I have, however, found this script mentioned in the svn-20060910 version of the BLFS book, where it appears to have taken the place of the alsa.dev script that the BLFS 6.1 book says to install. This is very confusing. Am I right or am I missing something? Needless to say I do not currently have the 15-alsa.rules script installed, but I do have the alsa.dev script installed.
The alsa.dev script was used when hotplug and udev were installed together. Hotplug handled dynamic devices, and it would use the alsa script placed in /etc/dev.d. Nowadays, udev has completely deprecated hotplug to the point where any of the dynamic actions are defined in udev rules. But, that happened in between LFS-6.1.1 and LFS-6.2. So, what version of LFS are you building on? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
