Hem. Wrong title. It worked with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5 & gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5-r1 It doesn't with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7 & gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r5 I had a similar problem when I switched from 2.4.x to 2.6.x but I fixed it by unmerging sys-apps/modutils This time I have no clue why it doesn't work :-/ I am using sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.0-r2
I just checked again, # ls -al /usr/src/linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jun 24 20:52 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r5 When I emerge alsa-driver, it uses the right kernel tree, the modules are put at the right place. # ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.7-gentoo-r5/kernel/sound/ total 18 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 296 Jun 24 22:27 acore drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 288 Jun 24 21:11 core drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 320 Jun 24 22:27 drivers drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 168 Jun 24 22:27 i2c drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 528 Jun 24 22:27 isa drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1040 Jun 24 22:27 pci -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13321 Jun 24 21:11 soundcore.ko drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 104 Jun 24 22:27 synth drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 104 Jun 24 22:27 usb
I wonder why you have to `emerge alsa-driver` since you are using kernel-2.6. You only need alsa-lib and alsa-util. Alsa drivers already in kernel-2.6.
Well, because 1. I never know which version of alsa is in the kernel 2. the alsa-driver should work with 2.6.x kernels too ;-) But I could effectively use the kernel ones. I'll try to see if they are stable with my soundcard.
Hehe. Stupid me, the alsa driver where compiled as module in the kernel. I removed them and it works now.
