Hi Kenneth,

I Had the same problem you mentioned in your e-mail... and after some
tries, I installed, not as modules, the sound support, the alsa support,
the driver for my sound board, and the OSS api in the ALSA section...,
and, in the oss section I installed everything as modules, and removed
all references to any sound module in my /etc/modules file.

I know that this is not the best solution, but it worked in my system.

I hope this can help.

[]s,

Sidnei


You are right this is not what i wanted but I will try. It probably means that I cant unload alsa and go for oss if I want. It wil probably be ok in later versions of 2.6.
Thanks for tip.

Hi all.
I have problems loading the Alsa drivers in kernel 2.6.3 on my debian testing
box.
I get the following error:
Starting ALSA (unknown version): failed - ALSA modules not installed
I know i compiled them as modules.
When I try modprobe snd I get:
pingu:~# modprobe snd -v
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko device_mode=0660
snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29
snd_device_uid=0
FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg says:
snd: Unknown parameter `snd_major'
snd: Unknown parameter `snd_major'
snd: Unknown parameter `snd_major'

I have some alsa stuff installed since I used alsa with the 2.4 kernel earlier.

OSS works as expected ( I copiled is as a module too).
My sound card used the module es1371 or ens1371.
Can someone point me in the right direction ? I have googled around but cant
find relevant stuff.
Regards Kenneth
