After installing the alsa-driver package to get sound I found that trying to load ns558.o fails with the following message: /lib/modules/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.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/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod ns558 failed if I unload the snd-via82xx.o module and other related ones, I can get ns558.o installed and working, but then snd-via82xx.o no longer loads with a similar message. The modules are fighting with each other, they have a common dependency module gameport.o. I think they can't share this module for whatever reason. This will probably have to go to the upstream maintainers, but I'm reporting it here first just in case Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Starting the system loads snd-via82xx.o through /etc/modules.autoloader.d/kernel-2.4 2. # modprobe ns558 3. Actual Results: recieve the following error message: /lib/modules/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.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/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.25_pre6-gss/kernel/drivers/char/joystick/ns558.o: insmod ns558 failed Expected Results: load without error, if the other module is not present this works, they just will not load at the same time Here is the gameport.o line in /proc/modules when snd-via82xx.o is loaded: gameport 1676 0 [snd-via82xx] Here is the gameport.o and isa-pnp.o line when ns558.o is loaded: isa-pnp 32068 0 [ns558] gameport 1676 0 [ns558]
Has a newer kernel helped at all? It his still an issue?
Long gone. This bug is old and has ne need to be open when the author won't reply.
Sorry I did not post correctly last time but I can no longer assist with this bug anyway because I have bought a soundcard from Creative Labs, and this problem does not exist. Sorry for the delay
