 |
|
Hi there,
I just went from 2.5.68 to 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 because I wanted to try the framebuffer eyecandy and I wanted my Wacom Graphire2 tablet to work...
Everything is absolutely fine, except that my sound module won't load. It is a Hercules Game Theater XP (cs46xx). Even more interesting (...) is the fact that the ALSA-drivers (alsa-driver-0.9.3) can't load its snd-cs64xx module either.
| Code: | * Starting sound driver: snd-cs46xx /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: insmod snd-cs46xx failed |
It is the exact same error as when I try the OSS module with modprobe.
I tried passing pci=noacpi to the kernel, to no avail. This worked perfectly with both ALSA and OSS on 2.5.68.
I haven't got a clue...

did you compile alsa in your kernel??
becuase the new kernel 2.5.x has alsa modules in the kernel ... so you wont be able to use the regular modules (when you emerge alsa-driver)
compile it to you kernel..

| Please, read my post once again... I went from 2.5.68 to 2.4.20. Of course I had ALSA compiled in my kernel for 2.5.68, that is not currently the problem... |

Stupid question time:
1) Did you re-emerge alsa-driver after booting into your "new" kernel?
2) everything set up in /etc/modules.d/alsa ?

Yup, everything's set up properly... I really don't think this is ALSA's fault, since the OSS module doesn't work either...
Additionally, I tried passing acpi=off in Grub. Nothing.
It feels like the kernel really doesn't think the card's connected. It is, it still works with my 2.5.68 kernel. dmesg tells me that it is actually recognizing the device, as does lspci.

Do you have devfsd configured & running at boot time?

Yes I did...
The problem is solved - I am now using the gaming-sources without problems.
Thanks for your help, nevertheless... |

Man, there's something funky bad with the "gentoo-sources," I think. 
Glad you got it working.
