Hello! I'm using 2.4.0-ac11 with devfs support. Something is very strange in the way how devfs behaves with respect to OSS sound drivers. devfsd version 1.3.10 is running. There is an entry "alias /dev/audio /dev/sound" in modules.devfs, which is the default. If the "sound" module is not loaded, there are no files named "audio" under /dev: [proski@fonzie /dev]$ ls -al audio ls: audio: No such file or directory [proski@fonzie /dev]$ ls -alR | grep audio [proski@fonzie /dev]$ Now I load sound.o and strange things begin: [proski@fonzie /dev]$ ls -al audio lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Jan 24 18:08 audio -> sound/audio [proski@fonzie /dev]$ ls -alR | grep audio crw-rw--w- 1 root root 14, 4 Dec 31 1969 audio [proski@fonzie /dev]$ /dev/audio exists when named explicitly, but otherwise only /dev/sound/audio can be found. No sound-card specific modules are loaded at this point: [proski@fonzie /dev]$ /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by sound 60880 0 (unused) soundcore 4240 2 [sound] mga 95424 1 agpgart 14080 3 floppy 46384 0 (autoclean) [proski@fonzie /dev]$ All relevant config files are here: http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/sound_devfs/ Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
