Im not sure what you mean.

you have said that you use LFS "linux from scratch" and i asked you about itis hardware compatibility ....,

as i think in the lfs i write down my own drivers that is right ? .

Most of the drivers for Linux are included in the kernel or are modules that you compile as a module. The only things ive had to compile outside of the kernel is a driver for my wireless card and sound as the current alsa is the only one that supports my intel HD card correctly.

LFS thus Linux From Scratch just builds a framework that you build upon so most of the more complicated drivers such as wireless and stuff you pretty much have to figure out on your own or read the BLFS book to get a direction to go in.

Hi,

Just to mention that if you previously have installed the Linuxant modem drivers (HSF connexant) there's no need to reinstal ALSA. Within the console just type:

hsfconfig

use the old settings, reboot the system and you'll have sound. I had the same sound problem when upgrading the kernel, so this fix works.

Cheers,

Yeah when I update my kernel I don't recompile the drivers I just run make install again where I downloaded the driver for alsa. Of course I did not remove the folder where I built the drivers.
