Re: sound compiled into kernel as opposed to a module
As I am running sid, I have the latest modutils.
Also, in /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/Makefile, notice the following line:
obj-$(CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371) += es1371.o ac97_codec.o
es1371.o and ac97_codec.o are successfully loading, but no sign of sound.o
I'm not intimate with Makefile, but it appears to me that sound.o is not
being associated with es1371 (although I did notice in conjunction with
other modules)
Now I'm wondering if debian tinkered with the linux kernel source for 2.4.2.
I think I'll trying downloading the kernel source from another location.
