I just installed the alsa driver 0.9.4 without running into any problems. I went to load the module for my sound card which is "snd-cmipci", and it came back with the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]$ ./modprobe snd-cmipci /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol __write_lock_failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol kernel_flag_cacheline /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol __read_lock_failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod snd-cmipci failed I am fairly new to Linux. I have Red-Hat 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18-14. Will I need to update my kernel or am I missing something? I have searched all over for a solution to this problem and read that the kernel module which exports the module "__write_loack_failed" needs to be installed, plus something about having to install dependecies. I also read of somebody who had the exact same errors, but with a Slack 9 distro, mentioned that <quote:> "i partially resolved my problem: Slack 9 put kernel-headers in /usr/include instead of putting it in /usr/src/linux/inlcude/linux so alsa had problems finding headers while compiling, producing broken modules." As I am new to Linux, some of this goes over my head a little, so can someone explain to me what these people are talking about and how can I get my ALSA driver to load properly?
