The kernel was installed, the sources untarred but make dep was NOT run, and I had rebooted. Compiling alsa did not work (make failed); more on that in a future message. Are you saying before I compile ALSA I'll have to reboot _after_ running make dep ?
If all you do is a make dep then the kernel you are running is NOT from the kernel sources you have installed. It MIGHT work but I personally would go through whole kernel build and install process then reboot. If all you do is make dep there is no need to reboot as all that does is setup your kernel source tree for a compile. When you build alsa it is going to expect a link from /lib/modules/"uname -r"/build to the actual kernel sources of the kernel YOU ARE CURRENTLY running. If you don't go ahead and build/install/boot that kernel before you build/install alsa your looking for trouble. Regards -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
