via82cxxx_audio module

[Keith O'Connell <kroc@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi,

Normally I don't stray from stable. I am happy to be a little behind and
have it all work together nicely, however I recently got an Acer Aspire
1300 laptop, and the hardware requirements were such that I needed
kernel 2.4.20.

I downloaded the source and complied a kernel and it all worked
fine(ish). I am using the machine to write this mail. There were a few
problems, but the one I am really stuck on is sound. I know the correct
sound driver is via82cxxx_audio.o. I compile this as a module and there
are no errors generated, however when I try to load the module it
generates the following error message;

"using /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: unresolved
symbol ac97_probe_codec"

I got the sources from kernel.org and I find it hard to believe that
this is a bug in a 2.4 series kernel, but it is not working. Can anyone
help me with where to start looking for the solution?

I am assuming that the guide I am using to getting the Acer  to work,
http://nervous.oltrelinux.com/hw/linux_aspire1300xv.html, with Debian is
correct. I seems to have been right for everything else so far.

Keith.
