New Kernel lose sound
It seems everytime I compile a new kernel I lose sound.
I just installed Debian Sarge 3.1 on my IBM T41
Everything went smoothly, but as to be expected, several kernel settings
weren't to my liking... so I compiled a new one.
I used the .config file located here
http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~bamoore/projects/debian_on_t41/.config
And everything compiled smoothly.
The only settings I changed were to follow these to attempt to get the
framebuffer working (that didn't work either, but I can't say I care so much
right now)
Under Graphics Support --> Support For Frame Buffer devices, place a
checkmark in the VGA 16 Color Graphics Suport box. Place a checkmark in the
Vesa VGA Graphics support, also check any box that matches your video card
if there is one.
I basically went step through step these instructions
http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm
Then I reboot and no sound. I got an error I stupidly didn't write down as I
expected to see it again, basically telling me /dev/dsp didn't exist.
So, I followed the instructions at the bottom of that page... did an apt-get
install alsa-utils, ran alsaconf which ended with a plain blue screen and a
box that says <ok> but nothing to click.
If I run it in a Konsole window instead of actually running from a console I
can see that this was output
Modinfo: could no find module snd
Modinfo: could not find module snd
Modinfo: could not find module snd
Terminating processes: 2837...done.
Unloading sound driver modules...done.
Modinfo: could not find module snd-opl3sa2
Modinfo: could not find module snd-cs4236
Modinfo: could not find module snd-cs4232
Modinfo: could not find module snd-cs4231
Modinfo: could not find module snd-es18xx
Modinfo: could not find module snd-es1688
Modinfo: could not find module snd-sb16
Modinfo: could not find module snd-sb8
(All small m's but my mail is insiting they be capitalized for now)
So I'm completely stumped... if I boot back to my old kernel, also no sound.
Alsaconf didn't make anything work, but it did make the error disappear that
was saying /dev/dsp doesn't exist.
And the user I'm logging in as is in the audio group.
Any advice?
