My main problem is that every time I try to compile kernel linux-2.2.16.SuSE-21 no modules are created for the sound card. When I look in the /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc folder, after doing the compile and the make modules, make modules_install, there are no snd-card-... modules in there! Therefore when the kernel boots, of course it can't load snd-card-sb16 because it doesn't exist. Either something is wrong with the kernel or I don't have the right version of some compiler for modules. I don't know, I'm very new to this.
I might be wrong, but I think that snd-card-sb16 is one of the ALSA modules, rather than from the standard kernel sound modules (which I think would compile as soundcore.o and sb.o, or something similar).
Maybe you need to compile ALSA too?
Or, install ALSA if it's not already installed. Though, I'm not sure where the snd-card-sb16 came from, but I believe your right that it's part of ALSA, and I don't recall it being one of the modules from the kernel. These are the only ones created by the kernel compilation: adlib_card, opl3, sb, uart401, sound, soundcore when compiling for the sb16 card. If someone knows different please correct me, but those are the ones I have and sound is compiled as a module on my other system with an sb16 card. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.17 Reality is for those who can't face Science Fiction. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
