ok great... i'm getting closer. i think i understand what you mean. however could you please provide a little more (basically as if i'm a total dummy!! - which i am with this). where do i look for the paramaters to remove the snd- references? are they in a file? i can't see them in modprobe.conf i know at my level of experience i probably shouldn't be playing the kernel, but linux is so much fun!! also, if i boot my old kernel, will the regenerated modprobe.conf affect this - ie. do i need to generate it again when i g back to 2.4?? thanks so much Takis On Tue, 2004-02-03 at 03:45, Catimimi wrote:

Hi
i'm quite the newbie and tried using 2.6.1-3. i seem to have lost sound even after updating the alsa bits to 1.x. all else seems fine.
excuse the perhaps obvious question bu ti didn't fully understand kraxel's readme.
the generate modprobe is fine but what "modify alsa options according to the new alsa symbols" mean. this is in the readme file also but i'm truly stumped as to what to do.
In the previous releases of Alsa the parameters begin with snd- in the last versions you have to wipe snd- at the beginning ot the parameters names. So if you build modprobe.conf for Alsa 1.0, from modules.conf for Alsa 0.9 you have to modify the parameters names.
Michel.
suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi,
Anyone have tried this kernel (2.6.1.-3 from SuSE people - Kraxel dir) on SuSE 9? Anything else required except upgrade of mkinitrd and refreshing modules.conf?
If you run SuSE 9.0 (as me) you can install kraxel's 2.6 kernels without needing to upgrade mkinitrd. You can upgrade alsa files from kraxel and everything works fine. Don't forget to run generate-modprobe.conf and to modify the alsa options according to the new alsa symbols. See Readme-2.6 from kraxel.
Good luck.
Michel
PS. It seems kernel 2.6 requires upgrade of alsa from 0.9 to 1.x. I have installed alsa 1.x from packman dir with current 2.4.21-166 kernel, and got loud endless noise from soundblaster which I
have been
unable to eliminate.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
