[SLE] kernel 2.6.1-1 and alsa.
Hi all, I tried kernel 2.6.1-1 from kraxel, it compiles and runs OK, excepts that alsa won't run. At boot I get : The running Alsa driver is obsolete. Stop Alsa now. I did report to Gerd. Catimimi.

Check your /etc/init.d/alsasound script. Which version of alsa is in his kernel. I know when I updated alsa to a version 1, I had something similar because the script checked the version to make sure it wasn't used for alsa5. I originally commented out the version check, but packman now has alsa updates out which may also fix your problem. I am not using Gerd's version, but I am running 2.6.1 with alsa 1.0.1 with no real problems. joe@jmorris:~> uname -r 2.6.1 joe@jmorris:~> cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.1.

I'm seeing the same with the kernel.org 2.6.1-mm kernels and noticed the alsa libs etc. installed are an older version. I've downloaded the 1.0.1 versions from http://www.alsa-project.org and installed them, but I've not had a chance to reboot so far. Hoping that's the problem. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

Rebooted with the alsa-1.0.1 libs, utils, oss-compat all installed, same problem. rebuilt kernel 2.6.1-mm4, same complaint. I have a script that inswerts the alsa modules, then a check of the version shows ---- barrabas:/ftp/jan04 # cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.1 (Tue Dec 30 10:04:14 2003 UTC). Compiled on Jan 18 2004 for kernel 2.6.1-mm4. I have to hunt that one down a little later. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.

Hi, In the file /etc/init.d/alsasound at line 149, it is tested if the alsa version is 0.9 !!! Now it is 1.0 !! In this line replace 0\.9 by 1\.0 and the problem is solved. Note that if you use kernels 2.4 and 2.6 on the same install, you have to modify a little more un order to make a double check. In my case I've two installs of SuSE 9.0 since the interface of the Nvidia driver is not the same for both kernels. Thanks to Joe Morris who gave me a good tip. Catimimi. Did you notice that compilation fails if you don't reply 'Y' at the new option /proc/mm ?

Brilliant, thanks. I looked at that file last night in the gaps between falling asleep and waking in the chair here, so I missed it.
Note that if you use kernels 2.4 and 2.6 on the same install, you have to modify a little more un order to make a double check.
For my 2.4.25-pre kernels on the laptop, I use alsa-1.0.1 rather than the standard OSS drivers in 2.4, you would think they'd upgrade 2.4 to use alsa as standard as SuSE have done.
In my case I've two installs of SuSE 9.0 since the interface of the Nvidia driver is not the same for both kernels.
I accidentally found that the Nvidia driver modified for 2.6.x with patches from www.minion.de will work with 2.4.x. I had two separate directories also, but when I rebuilt the SuSE 2.4.21-99 kernel, I automatically went to the 2.6.x Nvidia driver directory and did "make install", it was only after it was up and working that I realised what I'd done. I've seen something a few days ago on minion.de (I think) that said it should work for both the 2.6.x and 2.4.x kernels.

I just tried but it doesn't work. Perhaps is it because I use 4363 release! If I use more recent ones I'm unable to get the Alt+Ctrl+Fx text consoles working !! Did you meet this problem and did you solve it ? My video card is a MSI GeForce4 MX440-TD8X Michel
