alsa-driver 0.98 didn't work with kernel 2.6.4-rc1 so I tried using newer alsa-drivers 1.0 and later. Always seem to get the following error and can't find a solution- make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.3/work/alsa-driver-1.0.3' make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.3/work/alsa-driver-1.0.3/kbuild modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.4-rc1' MKELF scripts/elfconfig.h ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.4-rc1/scripts/elfconfig.h /bin/sh: line 1: scripts/elfconfig.h: Permission denied make[2]: *** [scripts/elfconfig.h] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scripts] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.4-rc1' make: *** [compile] Error 2 !!!

you need >=alsa-driver-1.0.2c if you use a 2.6.x kernel.
If you'll read past the first line, you'll see that this also occurred with alsa-driver 1.0.2c and 1.0.3.
Same problem here. kernel 2.6.4-rc1, alsa-driver 1.0.3
I finally got this working. I realized that I had compiled alsa into the kernel and was having some other kernel recompile wierdness. After some work and reboots, I got things going by skipping the alsa-driver, and just emerging the alsa-utils and related files. I think perhaps the code that's supposed to check to see whether or not alsa is in the kernel doesn't work unless it's the active kernel, and you end up with this message, although I haven't tried to reproduce this.
kernel 2.6.4 provides alsa-driver and has 1.0.3 built in
although alsa-driver >= 1.0.2c SHOULD work with 2.6 kernels if you want or need to use it instead of what's in-kernel... however there are problems getting it to work due to sandbox issues like this one and other issues... unfortunately nobody has submitted a patch for us to use to get it to work, and I can't run 2.6 for other reasons to test it out...
