Hi,
I have just installed (from scratch) SuSE linux 7.2 (kernel 2.4.4) on a
Toshiba Labtop. In the /lib/modules directory there is a directory

"2.2.4-4GB" where the kernel modules are located.
When starting alsaconf to install drivers for the soundcard (OPL3) the card
is detected and everything works OK.

The problems starts after having compiled a new kernel.
After having updated lilo with info on the new kernel, I compiled the kernel
modules and finished with a "$ make kernel_install".

After rebooting the new kernel I started alsaconf again, but this time it
complained about missing modulus when trying to find the pnp-isa

cards. It complained about missing modules.
When comparing the "old"  /lib/modules/2.2.4-4GB directory with the new
/lib/modules/2.2.4 directory I can see that they are organised differently.

One difference is that the modules for the pnp-isa cards in
2.2.4-4GB are located in /lib/modules/2.2.4-4GB/mics while in 2.2.4, they
are located in /lib/modules/2.2.4/kernel/drivers/sound !.

If I copy the directory /lib/modules/2.2.4-4GB/mics to /lib/modules/2.2.4,
alsaconf no longer complains about missing modules, but
now it can not find the sound card ???.

What is going on ?.

PS: I have tried compile the kernel with, and without, the OPL3 driver both
as a module and as included in the kernel.


Can anyone please help.

Thanks in advance.
