Package: kernel-package Version: 9.008.4 Severity: normal Hardware: Thinkpad R51
I've been tracking this error for two days now, I must have compiled some 20 kernels already, and I've isolated my problem: depending on *where* in the filesystem my kernel sources are, the compiled and installed kernel either has working sound or not. ( I still use OSS ) What I do: 1) download vanilla 2.6.14 to /home/leszek from kernel.org 2) su root 3) unpack in /home/leszek ( which is on a partition with ReiserFS 3.6 ) with tar xjvf linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2 4) cd linux-2.6.14 5) place .config file there. The file can be downloaded from www.3miasto.net/~leszek/config-2.6.14 6) make-kpkg --revision=12 kernel_image | tee ~/log.from-home-leszek 7) cd .. && dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.14_12_i386.deb 8) reboot into new kernel. Sound works, file /dev/dsp is present, dmesg can be found here: www.3miasto.net/~leszek/dmesg-working Then, 9) cp linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2 /usr/src ( /usr/src is on a 'ext3' partition mounted at '/') 10) cd /usr/src && tar xjvf linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2 11) cd linux-2.6.14 && cp /home/leszek/linux-2.6.14/.config . 12) make-kpkg --revision=13 kernel_image | tee ~/log.from-usr-src 13) reboot into old 2.6.11 kernel 14) su root 15) dpkg -P kernel-image-2.6.14 ( remove the working one ) 16) cd /usr/src 17) dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.14_13_i386.deb 18) reboot into the new 2.6.14, Sound does not work, /dev/dsp is missing, dmesg can be found here: www.3miasto.net/~leszek/dmesg-not-working 19) ?????? scratch your bald spot I also tried compiling the kernel from /home - obviously also on the same ReiserFS 3.6 partition - and the resulting kernel worked. So, I am really begining to suspect that the problem depends on which partition - or maybe which filesystem - the kernel is compiled on.
