I've succeded to have sound with SuSE 6.0 and a Linux 2.2.1 kernel. According to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/ESS1868, here is the statements I've inserted in /sbin/init.d/boot.local: /sbin/modprobe sound /sbin/insmod uart401 /sbin/insmod sb io=0x240 irq=10 dma=0 dma16=-1 /sbin/insmod mpu401 io=0x300 irq=9 /sbin/insmod opl3 io=0x388 /sbin/insmod v_midi Now I'm trying to have sound with SuSE 6.1/linux 2.2.5. I've used the same .config file on top of the source tree, and now the second statement (uart401) output the following messages: Using /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol sound_unload_mididev /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol midi_synth_hw_control /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol midi_synth_panning /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol sound_alloc_mididev /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol sound_notifier_chain_regist er /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol conf_printf /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol midi_synth_ioctl /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol midi_synth_start_note /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol midi_synth_kill_note /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol sequencer_init /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/uart401.o: unresolved symbol midi_devs and so on... Did I forgotten something? Thanks for any help.
