-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am recompiling the Suse kernel to try and make VMware work with Suse8. But now when I boot I get the error message: <notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S13alsasound start Starting sound driver<notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S13alsasound start' exits with status 0 : snd_cs46xxmodprobe: Can't locate module snd_cs46xx failed A check in modules.conf shows indeed that snd_cs46xx is being called, but the module is actually cs46xx. So I presume there is some invisible massaging, that has now broken. I did disable most sound modules, leaving only the generic ones, Soundblaster, Crystal, and OPL. In addition to the sound driver problem on boot with my custom kernel, when trying to compile modules, it fails on the TI 1394 driver: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/drivers/ieee1394' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/include -Wall - -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer - -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 - -march=i686 -DMODULE -DKBUILD_BASENAME=pcilynx -c -o pcilynx.o pcilynx.c pcilynx.c: In function `mem_open': pcilynx.c:647: `num_of_cards' undeclared (first use in this function) pcilynx.c:647: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once pcilynx.c:647: for each function it appears in.) pcilynx.c:647: `cards' undeclared (first use in this function) pcilynx.c: In function `aux_poll': pcilynx.c:706: `cards' undeclared (first use in this function) make[2]: *** [pcilynx.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/drivers/ieee1394' make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_ieee1394] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/drivers' make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2 hydra:/usr/src/linux # This is something we need. As I am not a C programmer, I cannot know what is wrong.
