I'm trying to use the alsa drivers.
They compiled correctly, but I cannot load the modules !
The error message I get when I use modprobe is : module_init: no such device
I used snddevice script, and checked in the /dev directory : I have a snd link pointing to /proc/asound.
If i put options in the modules.conf file, then the error message given by modprobe is : parm_snd_xxx invalid parameter, where xxx is always the last option from the list i put in the file.
I tried the alsa-conf utility, for no better results.
(same errors)
I didn't find anything in tha FAQ's an so on ...
please help me !

You probably need to upgrade your modutils
What kernel version are you using? I'm using kernel 2.4.2, and had to upgrade up modutils in order to load modules (I belive I got the same error as you did from module_init). Go to: http://freshmeat.net/projects/modutils/ , get the latest modutils RPM and install it. Hope this solves your problem.

nope
Thanks for the idea, but it does'nt solve the problem.
I really don't know what's wrong with the system, i would rather bet on de /dev directory, or something like that.
anyway : no such device ...
sob.
Hope somenone has another idea ...

unfortunately if the modules is not correct ( or not installed properly ) the /dev/dsp won't be created . Alsa sux, because it requires bazzilions of modules . I had to install 8 modules so that my CF82something could work - but!
A very important thing:
did you make all the necessary aliases in /etc/conf.modules ?
It doesn't work without this ..

it works...almost perfectly
Well, err...
I found out what was wrong : i had not all the oss modules removed when trying to insert alsa ones...
(shame on me, I know, sorry :-) )
Still a problem : with amixer.
here is what i try and the message i get
>mixer set Master unmute
>amixer: Unable to find simple control '',0: Success
Happily i can use alsamixer to turn on the sound.
an idea why this detail seems wrong ?
