2.6.11 kernel compile

dibblethewrecke · 03-16-2005, 08:46 PM

i have compiled three 2.6.11 kernels, -cko1, -cko2 and -nitro1

when i start them i have the same problems with all three. i get errors about some of my sound modules not being able to be inserted in to the kernel but it's critical and i have to hard reboot with errors scrolling by at light speed. i !'ed out the sound modules in MODULES and !'ed hotplug and rebooted and did a manual modprobe:

Code:

[root] : modprobe snd-intel8x0

the ... means it goes on for 12 pages withmore of the same but different symbols.

All my other modules work fine, it is just the sound. Any suggestions please?

first what is the output of
/sbin/depmod -ae

any errors ?

second what kernel were you running prior to this one and do you have a /etc/modprobe.conf file
i bet it's just a bunch of leftover crap in modprobe.conf that shouldn't be there
i assume since you said modules and hotplug this is a modern system with udev

i guess show what sound modules you are loading in modules and in what order and show that /etc/modprobe.conf

one interesting point is with udev and loading modules at boot you really don't need /etc/modprobe.conf at all if you load alsa modules in the right order in modules (i don't think)

thanks for your reply. i run numerous custom built kernels - my current fav is 2.6.10-cko3 - so you could say that is my previous kernel. I don't use /etc/modprobe.conf, i use Arch linux and we define modules in an array in rc.conf. I have commented out these modules and tried booting and letting hotplug manage it all - same errors.

I do use hotplug and udev.

I am not at my box so i can't do the depmod but when should i do that? When i am running the "broken" kernel? As i recall i only have two sound modules in my array, these are defined first and loaded before hotplug starts. I think they are snd-intel8x0 and possibly snd-mixer-oss but i can't check now. Besides, these are only a fraction of the modules that hotlpug then loads but they do seem to be the ones at the root of the issue

i played around with depmod, both while running the "broken" kernel and by directing it to the kernel modules from another kernel - i played with some options but couldn't get any output about any errors at all. Which seems worrying...
