I have a registred version of OSS Sound for Linux. The installation went smoothly under SuSE Linux 5.1. However, I installed SuSE Linux 5.2, and during the installation (step: veryfying the kernel), I receive an error message (see below). I am using the same oss driver: osslinux381q-20x.tar.gz. I install the oss sound driver as follows: First I remove the existing sound.o driver from /lib/modules/2.0.33/misc, I edit conf.modules and replace the line "alias char-major-14 sound" with "off" and reboot Linux before installing the driver. Can somebody explain what is going on?
