Hi everybody, I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel. Everything is working fine except for
the sound. Under kernel 2.2.17 I had this is my /etc/modules: sound mpu401 ad1848 opl3sa2 opl3 options opl3sa2 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=7 options opl3 io=0x388 I used gom as the mixer. When I booted the 2.4.2 kernel (witeh the same /etc/modules) and tried to play a song I got this: "Cannot open audio device. Please make sure that the audio device is properly configured." And when I try to use gom I get this: gom ERROR: Can't open mixer device special file "/dev/mixer": No such gom: device. Error help: if loading a mixer special file leads to "No such gom: device", then you most likely do have the kernel sound driver gom: not or incorrectly installed. "Permission denied" means you gom: need permissions by the local admin in the first place. gom: gom: Current channel information gom: --------------------------- gom: gom: No Name Rec Volumes Vol-0 Vol-1 Locked gom: 0.vol -1 -1 -1 -1 1 .... But there is a file named /dev/mixer !!!! .... crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jul 5 2000 mixer crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 16 Jul 5 2000 mixer1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 32 Jul 5 2000 mixer2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 48 Jul 5 2000 mixer3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 15 18:51 modem -> /dev/ttyS3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 28 23:51 mouse -> psaux .... When I compiled the kernel I selected everything that was under "sound" to be compiled as a module. Also when I try to load these modules by hand (insmod mpu401, etc...) it doesn't give an error.... I have no clue why this doesn't work! When I boot the 2.2.17 kernel everything works just great. Here is what I get when I use gom under 2.2.17: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ gom -t gom: gom: Current channel information gom: --------------------------- gom: gom: No Name Rec Volumes Vol-0 Vol-1 Locked gom: 0.vol -1 2 75 75 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ BTW I'm on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 Laptop. Help is very much appreciated! TIA! Philipp
