Hi David, On Thu, 12 Sep 2002 the mental interface of David Pastern told: > Hi again, [...] What are you doing there? I thought you install a debian box! Do you want to build your system from scratch? Bahh. Try GenTo or something else. BTW there exists a project "linux from scratch". Use google to find it. > 1> Check that you have kernel-source in /usr/src/x.x.x > > 2> Change linux_src_directory to correct path in "config.in" > > 3> Copy soundcore and ac97_codec source to current directory > > "make snd_install" [...] Enough for yet. Try it the debian way. You've build your own kernel. As I read former threads you did it on the classic way. Now: Get the kernel-sources you want: apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 If you want: apt-get -t testing install kernel-source-2.4.19 For your sound get working you need: apt-get install alsa-source chdir to /usr/src do a tar -xjvf kernel-source-2.4.1X.tar.bz2 do a tar -xzvf alsa-driver.tar.gz The drivers will then be in /usr/src/modules. Do a ln-s kernel-source-2.4.1X linux. chdir /usr/src/linux. do a make-menuconfig or in X make-xconfig. configure your kernel for your needs. BTW you don't have to compile the sound stuff directly. Only choosing CONFIG_SOUND=m seems to be enough for using the alsa-drivers. After your config has finished do: make-kpkg --initrd --revision=YOURVERSION1.0 --kernel-image \ --modules-image Go for a cup of coffee (maybe you prefer a glas of whisky). After compiling you have to switch back to /usr/src. Do dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.19_YOURVERSION1.0_i386.deb dpkg -i alsa-modules-2.4.19_0.9+0beta12+3+p0+YOURVERSION1.0_i386.deb Check the advices while installing your new kernel-deb package. Your lilo must confirm to your new kernel. Put your user to grp audio. Start mp3blaster and enyoy Frank Zappa on your debian-way build woody-box! ;-) If you want to use 2.4.19 don't forget to do an update to the recomended compiling stuff: apt-get -t testing install initrd-tools fileutils modutils. I suppose yor next mail will be written with mutt or either other linux mua ;-) Ciao Elimar -- On the keyboard of life you have always to keep a finger at the escape key;-)
