Sound card problem
Hi,
The sound modules was not there and I tried to compile the kernel my
Menuconfig or xconfig didn't work because of the error,
Make: *** No rules to make target '/Rules.make' Stop.
Then I compile it fome the console mood now the .config file is there
but when I typed
#make deb
make: *** No rules to make target 'deb' Stop
Why is that is it somting wrong with the make ?

First less /proc/modules and see whether the sound modules are loaded.
In your case I think it's emu10k.. something. soundcore should also be
loaded. If modules are not loaded check whether they have been compiled.
ls /lib/modules/kernel_version/kernel/drivers/sound/
If the modules are there just insmod module_name, make sure that module
dependencies are not broken. Meaning that modules are installed
according to their dependencies. U'd find the dependencies in
/lib/modules/kernel_version/modules.dep
Now if u've come this far then cat some_file > /dev/dsp, if everything
is fine then u'd hear some sound.
Else u'd have to recompile the kernel with the sound support, it's not
really difficult, but make sure that you don't make install the kernel.
First try to get the sound driver built into the kernel, this would make
it much easier to debug, once it's working u can build the driver as a
module. I assume that u'r famillier with recompiling the kernel, and if
u'r not just google, u'd find lots of howtos on it.
If you didn't get it working pls reply with the dmesg (kernel bootup
messages)
