In the meantime I guess I could just keep on using the alsa driver I've got from the kernel, or upgrade the kernel or whatever... This isn't really a problem as I've currently got sound, but on the other hand it does block upgrades from packages like kde etc, because those want to install alsa first, and it's a bug which should be fixed anyway I guess (unless it's me being stupid, in which case I apologise for wasting your time). Thanks! -- P.S.: Great, apparently I can post only +/-65000 chars, so I'm cutting down the log. Full log (516K) is available at http://rootshell.be/~ludootje/alsa.log Thank you for your time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Makefile:434: .config: No such file or directory Looks like you didn't compile your kernel yet... it's not finding include files in asm/ because your kernel isn't configured... goto /usr/src/linux, do a 'make menuconfig', install the kernel, then emerge alsa-driver.
I'm sorry, it's possible I did a 'make mrproper' after installation in order to save space :o uh I guess it's my fault then, very sorry. Haven't fixed it yet, but what you're saying sounds perfectly normal - I vaguely remember doing that. Thanks!

Is /usr/src/linux a symlink to the tree? It should copy the tree over, but it looks like it's trying to use the tree in /usr/src/linux...
Yes, it's a symlink: <ludo@gax ~> $ ls -l /usr/src/linux* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 Aug 4 19:20 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-mm6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31 Aug 4 18:38 /usr/src/linux-2.6.5 -> /usr/src/lnx-kernel/linux-2.6.5 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35 Aug 4 19:20 /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-mm6 -> /usr/src/lnx-kernel/linux-2.6.5-mm6 All the kernels are in /usr/src/lnx-kernel/linux-<version> Is this bad? Should I copy the tree to /usr/src/linux/?
what you have is fine... the current "solution" for compiling alsa-driver was meant only to be temporary while a new eclass was made, but it's been in use for about 3 months now... I'll hack something together to correct this... in the mean time, just have /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/lnx-kernel/linux-2.6.5-mm6 when you emerge
KV_DIR is supposed to point to the actual directory as opposed to the symlink, but it doesn't look like it follows multiple symlinks, so I'm reassigning this to the kernel team since they maintain that eclass... the following code is what the ebuild does (and it works when /usr/src/linux points to the exact directory... it would be nice if the new module eclass would be finished soon =( if kernel-mod_is_2_6_kernel || kernel-mod_is_2_5_kernel; then FULL_KERNEL_PATH="${ROOT}/usr/src/${KV_DIR}" if ! [ -d "${FULL_KERNEL_PATH}" ]; then eerror "An error seems to have occurred. We looked in $ die "ALSA driver configuration failure." fi einfo "A 2.5 or 2.6 kernel was detected.

Please use linux 2.6.6 or newer, as it features a non-broken build system. That will solve the sandbox errors, however I guess this bug should stay open if symlinks arent being handled correctly.
the new eclass is here :)
