Hi,

I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.4.18 from BenH (by the way, merci Ben !). But for various reasons, I had to go from scratch and rebuild it, which went well so far. The problem is that I have no more sound, using the Alsa architecture. Is it enough to take the /lib/modules/2.4.12/misc directory and copy it into /lib/modules/2.4.18-ben0 ? Is there a way to tell the kernel to include alsa drivers and rebuild them ? I have no clue here, since i'm really not a specialist.

Any help is welcome.

Cheers

Damir

Hello,

No, taking the 2.4.12 alsa kernel modules won't work. Also, the alsa drivers are not included with 2.4.18 sources. You have to download the Alsa stable driver package from:

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-0.5.12a.tar.bz2

Once you have done that, uncompress the archive by typing (in a terminal window): tar -xvjf alsa-driver-0.5.12a.tar.bz2

Then cd into the new dir: cd alsa-driver-0.5.12a

Then type: ./configure

then: make

when it's done compiling, switch to root by typing: su (you will be asked your root password)

Then, as root, type: make install

When install is finished, type again as root: /etc/init.d/alsasound restart

That's it :) Alsa sound should work fine again with your new kernel.

Note that you will have to do this every time you switch to a new self compiled kernel.
