I installed and compiled my standard kernel for SuSE 7.0 and sound stopped working.

No wonder: my sound modules in misc/ are missing.

I was using snd-emu10k1.o (Sound Blaster Live). I found the snd- modules in the orginal modules directory, put it in misc/ and depmod -a, to get

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/...

depmod -e shows that these appear to be standard kernel functions: printk, kfree, etc.

I can't find the source or references to the alsa sound modules anywhere in the kernel directories. I can only find the snd- modules in the original modules directory. The emu10k1 rpm package doesn't seem to have a module object or source in it. Strange!

I'm also confused about the SuSE kernel source. There's the standard one, and linux-2.2.16-SuSE. What's the difference?

Any pointers how to compile a custom kernel with the alsa snd- modules would be appreciated.

Brett

To get all the modules install a kernel first then install the source. linux-2.2.16-SuSE is from lx_suse rpm and just has alot of kernel patches already applied by SuSE. The regular one doesn't have all the patches applied bu SuSE. You will get the modules when you install a kernel either from the cd or from the ftp site. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
