Building ALSA for 2.4.25 kernel

[Joss Winn <joss@josswinn.org>]

Hello,

I've been trying to build ALSA from the debian package 
'alsa-modules-2.4.25-powerpc' sources against a Debian 
Unstable kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac kernel.

For a while I found that 'make-kpgp modules' would build the modules 
and install them in /lib/modules/2.4.25/ rather than the existing 
/lib/modules/2.4.25-powerpc directory. 

I've since found out how to overcome that by using the
--append_to_version -powerpc flag and changing the
/usr/src/linux/debian/changelog to reflect the -powerpc version.

This install the compiled drivers in the right /lib/modules
directory but when I try to load the drivers, they show these
errors:


Setting up alsa-modules-2.4.25-powerpc (1.0.3-1+10.00.Custom) ...

I've seen that other people have problems getting the ALSA dirvers
to work but can't find any solutions from the list archives.

Can anybody offer any advice?

thanks very much
Joss
