Subject: Compiling 7.0 kernel: where are ALSA snd- sound modules?
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
