OK, let's see if I can get all my problems sorted at once...

ah, did you by chance recompile the source for the kernel that came with mandrake, and not do a make modules and make modules_install?
that would explain it, also if you tried to install alsa onto a premade kernel I would imagine that could happen

flapjackboy · 08-31-2003, 11:27 AM

Nope, I recompiled the kernel, but I did do the make modules and make modules_install...

exodist · 08-31-2003, 11:31 AM

hmm... well. did you do a mrproper & make dep & make clean?
on a prebuilt kernels source it might be a good idea to do it fresh

flapjackboy · 08-31-2003, 11:37 AM

yep, did that too...

flapjackboy · 08-31-2003, 12:33 PM

OK, did another recompile and managed to get the depmod errors down to:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdkcustom/kernel/drivers/i2c/scx200_i2c.o

That's i2c support for a National Semiconductor watchdog card that I really, really doubt you have... ignore it, a depmod error isn't that big a deal, its under Character Devices... Watchdog Cards in xconfig or menuconfig... about halfway down the screen, just take out all the watchdog cards really.

Cheers,

I agree. sorry I wasn't responding, earlyer today a friend of my brothers called for me, he said windows was crashing every 5 min and he decided to ditch it and install linux, so I have been busy.

flapjackboy · 09-01-2003, 07:24 AM

Obviously, a smart guy, this friend of your brother's...

exodist · 09-01-2003, 03:15 PM

no, in actuallity and idiot, despite my efforts to help him help himself he ended up convising me to make it work for him, he will be a windows user again in no time I am sure.

flapjackboy · 09-01-2003, 03:49 PM

Ah well, his loss... I'm sure that after he gets hit by a few virii, he'll learn his lesson.

exodist · 09-01-2003, 04:50 PM

no kidding

exodist · 09-02-2003, 02:33 PM

it seems I am mistaken, he is big into scripting and ftp (he is a big anime trader on irc and stuff) and he is doing quite well already, I am suprised, I think he will make it after all.

And another one hears the penguin's call...

I've just found out why I didn't have any sound...

I have a soundcard 'socket extender' attached to my monitor, this has a switch on it to enable you to have both speakers and headphones plugged in simultaneously. Guess what it was set to...

As Homer Simpson is so fond of saying...

Do'h!
