Hi, Kernel build finally completed - apparently sucessfully, though I havn't tried booting into it yet... so I have now tried a reboot...
Sadly something still seems to be going wrong: % cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.4 (Mon May 17 14:31:44 2004 UTC). Compiled on Aug 16 2005 for kernel 2.6.8-2-386. % cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- A trawl through /var/log/kern.log gives Jan 27 07:41:25 localhost kernel: Yamaha OPL3-SA soundcard not found or device busy And checking my loaded modules: % lsmod Module Size Used by . snd_opl3_lib 9728 0 snd_hwdep 9092 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_cs4231_lib 24832 0 snd_mpu401_uart 7296 0 snd_rawmidi 23204 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 7944 2 snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd_pcm_oss 48168 0 snd_mixer_oss 16640 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 85384 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 11144 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd_timer 23300 3 snd_opl3_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd 50660 11 snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9824 1 snd Which does seem rather different to what you listed in your earlier post: ----------------8<-------------- Module Size Used by . wlan_wep 2976 1 . toshiba 1976 0 snd_mixer_oss 9728 0 . snd_opl3sa2 4512 0 snd_opl3_lib 4320 1 snd_opl3sa2 snd_hwdep 3392 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_cs4231_lib 12128 1 snd_opl3sa2 snd_mpu401_uart 2240 1 snd_opl3sa2 snd_rawmidi 10112 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 3340 2 snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 42856 2 snd_opl3sa2,snd_cs4231_lib snd_timer 10564 3 snd_opl3_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 4104 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm . ath_pci 42972 0 . ath_rate_sample 8392 1 ath_pci . wlan 79804 4 wlan_wep,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample . ath_hal 133520 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample -------------8<------------- I have highlighted the modules which are are at variance on the two systems. Here are my modules again, with the ones you don't list highlighted: snd_opl3_lib 9728 0 snd_hwdep 9092 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_cs4231_lib 24832 0 snd_mpu401_uart 7296 0 snd_rawmidi 23204 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 7944 2 snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi . snd_pcm_oss 48168 0 snd_mixer_oss 16640 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 85384 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 11144 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd_timer 23300 3 snd_opl3_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm . snd 50660 11 snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer . soundcore 9824 1 snd There seem to be two drivers in the source tree: # locate opl3sa2|grep .c$ /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/sound/isa/opl3sa2.c /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/sound/isa/snd-opl3sa2.mod.c /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/sound/oss/opl3sa2.c /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/sound/oss/opl3sa2.mod.c Grepping for the error string quoted above indicates that the 'isa' version is the one being loaded, which I am guessing is the correct one. As a final test, I tried a manual load, and get: # modprobe snd-opl3sa2 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5 midi_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388 wss_port=0x530 sb_port=0x220 port=0x370 opl3sa3_ymode=3 FATAL: Error inserting snd_opl3sa2 (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/sound/isa/snd-opl3sa2.ko): No such device FATAL: Error running install command for snd_opl3sa2 Glancing at the source, it seems that the following is failing: int dev, cards = 0; for (dev = 0; dev < SNDRV_CARDS; dev++) { if (!enable[dev]) continue; #ifdef CONFIG_PNP if (isapnp[dev]) continue; #endif if (snd_opl3sa2_probe(dev, NULL, NULL) >= 0) cards++; } #ifdef CONFIG_PNP cards += pnp_register_card_driver(&opl3sa2_pnpc_driver); #endif with 'cards' left as zero. It also seems to be compiled with 'CONFIG_PNP' set. Any ideas? Regards, DigbyT P.S. I see you are loading a 'toshiba' module. Should I be using that too? What does it do?
