The /etc/init.d/alsasound script depends on module support to be activated in the kernel but alsa works perfectly without it, too. I get the following messages: # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service. * Unloading ALSA ... [ ok ] * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels [ ok ] * Unloading modules Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory [ ok ] * Loading ALSA drivers ... FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.9-ck3/modules.dep: No such file or directory FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.9-ck3/modules.dep: No such file or directory [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels [ ok ] The script is calling commands that only seem to work with module support enabled but those commands aren't needed since ALSA works even when they fail like above. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.7 2. [kernel w/o module support] 3. /etc/init.d/alsasound restart Actual Results: Getting error messages like above.
