I'm just getting finished with something similar. I'm sure there's a better way, but this was how I got it to work: I followed the instructions from http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=CompilingTips
It didn't work, so I tried again. After the reboot, I did a modprobe and noticed that the modules were loaded, so I continued with the install. But then it didn't work again. The third try, I went as far as rebooting and quit. I now have sound. Another snag I ran into in the middle was that I had 0.9.7 and I was moving to 0.9.8. This was causing me problems until I went in and got rid of the alsa service that was starting by the init scripts (I used sysv-init to edit). Version 0.9.7 called it alsa, but 0.9.8 calls it alsasound. I replaced all occurences of alsa with alsasound in the various run levels. I don't know if this will work for you, but it may at least give you some new ideas. I compiled kernel 2.6 using the new preemption option. I also set pnp os to on in the bios, and I'm using acpi. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
