Sure, if you look on line 4 of /usr/src/linux/Makefile you'll see what needs to be changed to make the next build go right. Meantime, you can probably just move the contents of /lib/modules/2.3.9-31custom into /lib/modules/2.3.9-31, ie (cd /lib/modules/2.3.9-31custom; tar cf - .) | (cd /lib/modules/2.3.9-31; tar xvf -) and use them. They were compiled for the right kernel, they just got installed in the wrong place. -- rec -- _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
