Hello,
I am running RedHat 8.0 with kernel-2.4.18-4 and gcc 3.2 20020903. I am
a Linux newbie and I had questions about configuring alsa to run on my
HP pavilion notebook computer. RedHat detects my card (VIA AC97
VIA82C686) properly, but the test sound, or any sound for that matter,
is played as a strange looping sound. This is why I decided to try alsa.
When I compile alsa-0.9.0rc3 on my computer using
./configure --with-cards=via686 --with-sequencer=yes
--with-kernel=/usr;make;make install
I get

Any idea why this is occurring? I'd really appreciate some help. I have
seen newsgroup postings to the effect that the --with-kernel option may
be causing some problem, and that I should ./configure with the
--with-sequencer=yes option or simply, no options at all (just a plain
./configure), but none of these have worked.
Thanks a lot for your time, and sorry for the long listing of compiler
output.
Vishy.
