Description Axel Reimann 2004-11-27 07:44:46 UTC
After emerging alsa 1.0.7-r1 I can't start 
alsa sound anymore. The source of the problem
seems to be the system's unability to load the
required kernel modules:
* Loading ALSA drivers ...
*   Loading: snd-card-0 ...                                              [ !! ]
*   Loading: snd-mixer-oss ...                                           [ !! ]
*   Loading: snd-pcm-oss ...                                             [ !! ]
*   Loading: snd-seq-oss ...                                             [ !! ]
*   Loading: snd-seq ...                                                 [ !! ]
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers                                [ ok ]

The modutils are a bit more talkative:

Note: If there's a duplicate of this bug filed already, I do apologize.
I've done my best to search gentoo's bugzilla for the symptomatic 
described above...
Comment 1 Axel Reimann 2004-11-27 08:06:27 UTC
Did an emerge -C alsa-lib alsa-driver and reemerged
both modules. Interestingly, the kernel version is
detected correctly when initiiating the compile process:

> emerge alsa-driver
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.7-r1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar.bz2
 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * with sources for kernel version:
 *     2.4.26-grsec-2.0
 * Using KV_OBJ=o
Comment 2 Axel Reimann 2004-11-27 09:11:14 UTC
Could this be a hint in the right direction?:

Comment 3 Axel Reimann 2004-11-28 06:36:59 UTC
Updating the kernel to version 2.4.28-grsec-2.0.2
and emerging alsa-driver anew solved the problem.
If no one else has this sort of problem, this bug
may be closed.
Comment 4 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-29 04:19:39 UTC
closing unless someone else has this problem...
