[SLE] Few 6.3 problems
Hello; At first I have to say I am completely new to Linux. I have just installed S uSE 6.3 and I have got two problems with it: - I have installed the emu10k1 package for my SB Live, even updated it from SuSE ftp to get rid of error messages. Loading the module emu10k1.o with mod probe makes no problem and everything runs ok. There is also a line for this module in modules.conf. But when reboot, the module is not loaded, I have to call the modprobe again. What am I doing wrong? - I have wanted to try (just curious) to run the make of the new kernel, but after that I have found that there is only a include subdirectory (and, I gu ess, a .instal file) in the /usr/source/linux directory. I went through inst allation packages, but was not able to find the one with linux source to ins tall. Can you help me, please? Thank You! Mgr.

Welcome to the Linux community!!
- I have installed the emu10k1 package for my SB Live, even updated it from SuSE ftp to get rid of error messages. Loading the module emu10k1.o with mod probe makes no problem and everything runs ok. There is also a line for this module in modules.conf. But when reboot, the module is not loaded, I have to call the modprobe again. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, can't help you with this one. Someone else will though.
- I have wanted to try (just curious) to run the make of the new kernel, but after that I have found that there is only a include subdirectory (and, I gu ess, a .instal file) in the /usr/source/linux directory. I went through inst allation packages, but was not able to find the one with linux source to ins tall. Can you help me, please?
To get the source for the SuSE kernel (probably the best idea) you need to installed package lx_suse which is in series d on the CDs.

Most people, once they become more familiar with linux tend to go this route as it allows them to stay abreast with the progress of the kernel devel team. 3. lx_hack - This is the kernel package which will someday become kernel release 2.4.X this package can cause things to break or not work properly as its a work in progress version. Patches are released regularly by the developement team. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are REALLY comfortable with linux and its workings and want to compile a new kernel on a day to day basis. jv> Thank You! jv> jv> Mgr.

Kerneld is no longer needed with 2.2.x kernels. Kmod replaced it. Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
in /etc/conf.modules you will see the parameters for sound. Make sure
emu10k1 is next to both the sound and char-14 aliases. I am assuming kmod is
running, which it does by default in the suse distro. emu10k1.o should be
in /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc
