Bug 92300 – emu10k1 from alsa-driver package fails to modprobe with 'Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter' error.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Mike Gist 2005-05-11 14:23:58 UTC]

When I try to modprobe the snd-emu10k1 driver I get alot of errors and it fails to load. Here's a paste from my console:

xordan linux # modprobe snd-emu10k1
WARNING: Error inserting snd_hwdep (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/acore/snd-hwdep.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I can't paste all my dmesg as it goes out of the console, but here's a sample of what's there:

Everything is up to date as of now, I'm using the latest kernel (2.6.11). I've got two soundcards, the first is a Audigy 2 ZS, the second is an onboard nforce 3, not sure of the exact model. I'm trying to get the Audigy working. I've tried the in-kernel drivers but they cause my PC to crash if I play a sound.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge alsa-driver
2. modprobe snd-emu10k1
3.

Ok, got it working. I had to use coldplug though. If I added the modules to my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file they would fail, seems that not all the dependancies are loaded as well.

You're using an unsupported kernel. Please don't file such bugs, unless you can reproduce the problem with a supported one.
