Can this be done with genkernel? I've always used genkernel in the

yes you can use genkenel. I also use it. And it's wrong that genkernel is
only for wimps :-). It's also for the lazy (saves you typing some
commands).
You may run following commands, just a try:
# mv /etc/kernels/* /tmp
# genkernel --menuconfig kernel
In the menuconfig enable your sound-card as module if not allready:
Symbol: SND_HDA_INTEL [=m]
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Sound
-> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
-> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (SND [=m])
-> PCI devices
after this you have a fresh kernel in /boot. Make shure you have a line in
your grub.conf like this:
title=GNU/Linux (2.6.13-gentoo-r3)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda2
please adopt the root () statment, the root= paramter and the kernel
version to your needs.
If not allready merge the gentoolkit:
# emerge gentoolkit
then look for alsa packages:
# equery list alsa*
It's ok to have installed media-libs/alsa-lib media-sound/alsa-utils
and media-sound/alsa-headers. Make shure to remove sound/alsa-driver.
# emerge -C sound/alsa-driver
Configure /etc/modules.d/alsa. You just have to edit one line in this
file. To get the orginal version type:
# cp /usr/portage/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc
/etc/modules.d/alsa
Then set the line to look like this: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
Finaly run:
# modules-update
Thats all. Cross your fingers and reboot.
Sascha.
