I have been pursuing an issue with getting alsa rc2 to run with LM8.2 on the alsa user group and think I have a reason for my problem. Now I'm curious as to whether anyone on this list has it working, and if so, how?
The problem is that having built the alsa modules successfully, I get unresolved symbols when trying to modprobe the sound card driver. The suggestion is that this is because of a versioning problem. Here's a copy of a response to my post which seems to make sense to me: ------------------- Could be that there is a problem with the module versioning setting in the kernel. If I interpret your message correctly, then you have installed the kernel binary rpm, and are running that and have installed the sources rpm to get the kernel headers etc. needed to build ALSA. If this is so and the setting of "Use module versions" (or something like that) [last item on the modules page of make xconfig for the kernel] is different in the sources and the running kernel then the ALSA build process will generate different names from those the kernel expects. Try reconfiguring the kernel sources to switch the state of versioning flag then try rebuilding ALSA. -------------------- As I am not an experienced kernel builder, I would welcome any reports from this list on working rc2 installs before I get into that. Am I right in thinking that if this is the problem, there is a discrepancy between these rpm's (these are the ones I have installed): kernel-2.4.18.8.1mdk-1-3mdk kernel-headers-2.4.18-25mdk kernel-source-2.4.18-8.1mdk TIA Brian
