ok, so i am drawing closer to a solution! i have run 'modprobe opl3sa2' and receive the error message "device or resource busy. Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." how do i change these parameters? when i try 'insmod opl3sa2' i get a string of 'unresolved symbol' messages - 'unload_mpu401_r5febf2' and so on. does this have anything to do with it?
also, about recompiling the kernel - what exactly does this mean? is this equivalent to an OS re-installation? (i'm a mac man by tradition, so humor the analogy please..) was the original installation where my problems began? thanks again for all the help, nick -- +++http://f-matic.net++ +++audiovideotextstuff+ > From: Lee Bradshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 01:02:01 -0500 > To: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: newbie soundcard problem > Resent-From: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org > Resent-Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 00:02:41 -0600 > > On Tue, Mar 19, 2002 at 12:12:31AM -0500, nick phillips wrote: >> hello again list... >> >> thanks for all the help! i see the opl3sa2.o modules in my /misc directory >> but i am having a hell of a time using modprobe. when i use it i get a >> 'can't locate' error, which i get for every combination of directories i >> enter in. the module itself is located in /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/misc/ - >> where does modprobe start looking for modules? i tried 'modprobe opl3sa2.o' >> or 'modprobe /misc/opl3sa2.o' and so on but i'm having no luck, and reading >> the modprobe manual doesn't help me out at all. i'm sure this is a simple >> question, and i appreciate your help.. > > You shouldn't need the directory or ".o" extension: > > modprobe opl3sa2 > > -- > Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Texas Instruments [EMAIL PROTECTED] > GnuPG D8C3BBD2 CC08 D690 0B70 3C70 351E EB05 96A3 3789 D8C3 BBD2 > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
