Slackware + alsa + kernel 2.6 questions


How do you properly set up alsa with 2.6 kernels in Slackware?
Which packages do you need (I think I can remove the alsa-driver package, do I need the alsa-oss package)?

I have tried to compile my soundcarddriver into the kernel (2.6.11.7), but alsaconf doesn't find the card, if I compile it as modules, everything seems to work.

Before login, I get this message:
Code:
Loading ALSA mixer settings:  /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
Loading OSS compatibility modules for ALSA.
FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found.
FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss not found.
I know this has to do something with /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa. Do I need this file with a 2.6 kernel?

Alsa is already built into the 2.6 kernel, so you can disable /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa by making it non-executable. If compiling your own kernel, make sure alsa is built into the kernel as well as your sound card drivers.
