Upgraded to 2.6.4 Now no Audio or Agpgart


I upgraded Slack 9.1 to the new 2.6.4 Kernel. However after the upgrade was completed I lost both sound and the agpgart module. How do I get these back? I downloaded and restalled ALSA but that didn't put the snd_pcm_mod? back and after I boot it gives me the agpgart module could not be found. I searched google and found there's modules out there, but will any surfice? and where do I put the modules after I download them?

One last thing :-) , I can't see the errors above until I reboot the machine. I checked /var/logs but I couldn't find any reference. Is there a way I can view the last few messages right before X booted up without closing my X session?

Thanks again , M.P

My solution would be to recompile the kernel. It doesn't take too long particularly after you do it five or six times like I had to - eventually I got it right!

Thanks guys-

I recompiled the kernel with full support for ALSA and Built in Audigy. I also selected to have the AGPbuilt in as well. Is it possible the modules were deleted when I didn't compile them and ran make mrproper? Maybe I should re-download the 2.6.4 kernel source and recompile with then?

Thanks, M.P

FATAL: cannot find modules snd_pcm_blahblah
got the same problem... im using a c-media 5.1 channel sound card and compiled the kernel without alsa or oss.. I compiled only the "sound core" built in. then downloaded alsa drivers, utils, lib from alsa site. and that fixed my problem with the sound(not really coz i wasnt able to get all 5.1 channels to work but everything else is fine). i didnt have to do that before though when I used 2.6.2

**
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
[drm:drm_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.
**

i dont know how to fix this.. i installed it as builtin so maybe when i recompile, i have to choose module.

good luck.. tell me if you find a solution

Is there a way to find out if AGP is running? I built support into the kernel and not by module. I have auto insert module running in the kernel which I think might be causing the error.

If you have compiled agpgart built in, you should comment his occourence in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules,since slack 9.1 "standard" has it compiled as module.
Likewise alsa oss emulation stuff is loaded by /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa.
If you built in those drivers into the kernel you should comment their occourencies in rc.alsa script.
