Problems with modules

blockme · 03-24-2004, 06:31 AM

Hi there.

i recently installed the new 2.6.4 kernel. most of it seems to work fine this time... i am able to start unix now...

but when i am trying to enable alsa i am running into some problems. first i tried to install alsa within the kernel and it didnt work.
after this i tried like alsa-project.org showed within their docu for debian...

well. nothing worked.

i was searching around within my configuration and found the problem. but no idea how to resolve it...

modprobe -c shows that something is pointing to my old 2.4.22 kernel... no idea why. i did a make-kpkg kernel_image and after this a modules_image...
everything should be installed, shouldnt it?
what is the problem? thats why modprobe wont be able to load snd-intel8x0 and fails with a module not found or something...

any ideas or links?

Thx for help.

well it did not work with these. i tried to install via apt-get... this did not work. then i tried via alsa-project. it did not work neither.

but now its working...

what i did was DEINSTALLING my old kernel image. (apt-get remove --purge kernel-image-2.4.22-xfs) ... and now its working.

it seems that the new kernel i compiled wasn't loaded. all messages at boottime seemed to point at 2.4.22 (old one). even i relinked system.map vmlinuz and so on, configured lilo and ran it (i do forget this one sometimes, but not this time) and did an update-modules...
as well i did make-kpkg modules-image kernel_image

nothing helped.

when i deinstalled the old kernel the new kernel seems to load (lost my localization though, but this is smth new i have to find out).

just in case someone else got this problem alsa not working:

try debian way first (make-kpkg (configure the new 2.6.4 kernel for alsa first)) if this wont work, use the debian way on alsa-project.org and it was working for me (other way should have worked as well).
