In the Atmel mailing list, there appears to be issues with USB not only with the stock 9.0 kernel, but several cooker variants as well - in particular, problems that either prevent building the Atmel USB wlan driver or once built leads to hard system lockups. Cooker kernels can change with the day so I'd like to have a starting point for getting around the stock 9.0 kernel problems. I envision having to go back to and build a 2.4.18 kernel (from 8.2) to obtain a usable system at this point. I have an Atmel-based usb wlan device (Linksys WUSB11 v2.6) that works in 8.2, kernel 2.4.18-8mdk and -8.1mdk, but doesn't work properly in the 2.4.19 stock mdk 9.0 kernel.

Re: [expert] I am in KDE HELL
You can get the 3 cd 9.0 set from Cheap Bytes or SpiderTools for $3.49, shipped. Just a thought, but perhaps it is a 2.96 compiler problem. As I recal, 8.2 used gcc 2.96, which had a few weird problems. I did finally get KDE 3.0.1 installed on 8.2, but I believe I had a problem with multimedia package too. IMO, 9.0 is much better than 8.2 was. I've never had a problem installing any package from the 9.0 cd's, and gcc 3.2. Are you sure the qt version is correct, and is already installed?

Re: [expert] I am in KDE HELL
Thanks, Well...I'll relent and go with 9.0 as the kde rpms I've built don't work properly vis a vis alsa. As a matter of fact, one of the things I had to do to get one of the rpms to build (arts? I don't recall) was update my kernel alsa-driver from 0.5.12a to 0.9.0rc2. I got everything except for kdemultimedia rpms built without any burps. The kdemultimedia builds for a long time then craps out with kmix problems regarding alsa. Doing a ./configure --path=/usr && make && make install in the /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/kdemultimedia-3.0.x directory produces a "successful" build but sound doesn't work properly. In order to get all this working I either have to go back and reinstall 8.2 it seems or move on to 9.0 and fix its problems (upgrade to Cooker kernel). I'll give it a go. My supermount problem was with regards to my zip drive - loading fine but refusing to unload. I don't recall the specifics of my usb problems at this point, only that going back to the 2.4.18 kernels on 8.2 got around them (as well as avoiding the supermount problem). My hardware is "cheap" either.

But I still hold to hardware,as a possible source, only because the same box that has this problem had it with 8.2 and 8.1 also. (I didn't have it before that, it's a used laptop btw) The boxes that aren't having problems all have cdroms or cdwriters that are under 1 year old. I can on my personal desktop recreate the problem by putting in a 4 year old cdrom drive I own. Yet with the newer Asus CDwriter I've never had a lick of problems. If my thought is accurate it doesn't mean the hardware is bad per se but rather that the kernel builders aren't accurately supporting legacy hardware. Greatest problem is the fact that no author can ever test beyond the hardware he/she has in front of him.

I have tried with mandrake 3.0.3, 3.0.4, and 3.0.5 src rpms and have managed with varying success to get most of kde built. The latest problem is that though I have gotten ALL src rpms built except kdemultimedia, it is this last one that adamantly refuses to build. I have met ALL dependencies for it yet with 3.0.3-7mdk., 3.0.4-1mdk, and 3.0.5-1mdk it fails with the same messages: mixer_alsa.cpp:108: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:109: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:110: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:110: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:109: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:110: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:111: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:111: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:110: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:111: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:112: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:112: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:111: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:112: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:113: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:113: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:112: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:113: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:114: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:114: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:113: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:114: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:115: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:115: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:114: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:115: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:116: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:116: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:115: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:116: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp:117: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `kndDebug' with no type mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:117: redefinition of `int kndDebug ()' mixer_alsa.cpp:116: `int kndDebug ()' previously defined here mixer_alsa.cpp: In function `int kndDebug ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:117: parse error before `<' mixer_alsa.cpp: In method `int Mixer_ALSA::openMixer ()': mixer_alsa.cpp:132: `snd_defaults_mixer_card' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:133: `snd_defaults_mixer_device' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/alsa/mixer.h:84: too many arguments to function `int snd_mixer_open (snd_mixer_t **, int)' mixer_alsa.cpp:136: at this point in file mixer_alsa.cpp:141: `snd_mixer_groups' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:145: `snd_mixer_gid_t' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:145: parse error before `)' mixer_alsa.cpp:154: `gid' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:157: `snd_mixer_group_t' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:157: parse error before `;' mixer_alsa.cpp:158: `group' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:160: `snd_mixer_group_read' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:169: `SND_MIXER_GRPCAP_VOLUME' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:173: `SND_MIXER_GRPCAP_CAPTURE' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:198: `snd_mixer_info_t' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:198: parse error before `;' mixer_alsa.cpp:199: `info' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:199: `snd_mixer_info' undeclared (first use this function) mixer_alsa.cpp:205: confused by earlier errors, bailing out make[3]: *** [kmix_panelapplet_la.all_cpp.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/kdemultimedia-3.0.5/kmix' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/kdemult
[expert] I am in KDE HELL
