I have installed a Suse 8.1 profesional (kernel 2.4.19) and I have migrated to kernel 2.6.11.7. After that the sound card doesn't work (is an Creative SBLive and I use emu10k1 driver). I have installed ALSA 1.0.8 and when I do

modprobe emu10k1


it said that have error and see dmsg. dmsg result is:

What is happening?

Thanks.

Have you put the new kernel includes in /usr/include before compiling ALSA?
like this:
$ su
# cd /usr/include

and if asm and linux are symlinks:
# rm asm
# rm linux
else:
# rm -rf asm
# rm -rf linux

below, replace /usr/src/linux with the path to the kernel source and asm-i386 with what the symlink called asm is pointing to.
# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux

I didn't done that. But the files on /usr/include/sound have as date the date I compiled ALSA. I think that when you compile ALSA it use his own headers files and then install them in /usr/include/sound.

Any idea more?

No, these headers are mainly from the alsa-lib package, which is a module of the alsa project, this package contains an userspace library. The programs that wish to use alsa must use theses headers and be linket to this library.
Your problem is not from the alsa-lib package, your problem is with the alsa-driver packeage, the module of the alsa project wich contains the kernel modules (including the soundcard drivers): in order to work on a specific kernel, these modules must be compiled with the headers of that kernel. And believe me, even if alsa-driver uses headers from /usr/include/sound, it wont compile without the kernel headers.

I do that. Erase asm and soud from /usr/include. And then compile again ALSA driver. It was ok. But then I tried to compile alsa-lib and get errors:

I have solved the compile error. I have to make symbolic links to others folders like /usr/src/linux/include/asm-generic and /usr/src/linux/include/linux.

Now alsa-lib compile and alsa-utils, but where i do modprobe snd_emu10k1 i get the same error. Like the first post.

Try this in alsa-driver dir:
# make uninstall
# make clean
# ./configure --with-your-options
# make
# make install

This will rebuild the drivers with the new headers. If you already did this, I can not help.

After compile again the driver the erros were the same.

Then i saw that when i done make install it produce a warning. I have to change options in /etc/modprobe.conf. I have done that an now I'm writing and listening music

Thanks a lot.

Excellent - congrats pike on solving the problem and thanks for posting back with the solution that worked for you. That will be very helpful to future readers who may have the same question. Naturally thanks to everyone who offered advice/guidance -- J.W.
