[gentoo-user] alsa doesn't want work
Hi, I'm trying to set alsa sound. I followed instructions by gentoo, but when I lsmod, no alsa is loaded. /etc/init.d/alsasound start - already running I even tryed to put it in modules.autoload but at boot time it shows me failed to load alsasound Please, could anyone help me?

RE: [gentoo-user] alsa doesn't want work
/etc/init.d/alsasound stop /etc/init.d/alsasound start or... /etc/init.d/alsasound restart Look in /var/log/messages for more clues as to what problems it's having.

BTW - alsasound is really 2 parts: 1) alsa itself 2) the alsa drivers for you sound card Both have to be loaded to get sound.

I enableb as module sound support and no driver selected. But should I also load sound-support module? I didn't! It is not written... And what it's more surprising (and I'm warried) after the compilation of the kernel descripted in that documentation, I haven't got any more bzImage in my /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot !!! And furthermore if it would be there should I copy it in /boot ?
