Thank you for your advice. I *believe* all I need to do is keep the modules which SuSE provides in a place where depmod can find them. The fact of the matter is, the last time I compiled the kernel, just about the only module(s) that did work was the sound card support. I believe the problem is that my build of the kernel is putting things in /lib/modules/2.4.2 and SuSE puts them in /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB. If I could figure out how to build the kernel and its modules in such a way as to put everyting in the 2.4.2-4GB, that may work. The other option may be to put the SuSE modules in 2.4.2. I trust that rebuilding ALSA is *an* option. It just doesn't seem like the correct option. I'm trying to research this topic right now. I really don't know where to start. The kernel README pointed me to Documents/modules.txt. I don't think that will hold all the answers either.
I believe that you can get it to work. There is an option in the modules section that will let you run modules that were not compiled with the kernel. I would just copy the needed *.o files from the default SuSE location, and then run "depmod -a" while in /lib/modules/linux-2.4.2. If this doesn't work, then you will have to recompile the said modules. - v -- Victor R. Cardona vcardona@home.com "Behold the keyboard of Kahless, the greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!"
