Hi,
I've downloaded alsa driver for my 'AC97 Via8233' on motherboard Asus.
I've seen the installetion guide file.
All Ok for the ./configure;
but, when I do 'make' the command starts, but after about 15 sec.
the shell always give me the same error (or warning: boh!!!), that is:

this message continues to the infinte so I must close the shell to stop all.

Why this?

Can it depends to the fact I don't uninstall previous drivers?
If yes, How must I do to uninstall this?

Thank, and excuse me for my poor english.

noone can help me?
Thank.

help me!!!

These are only warnings - does the compilation finish or not?

no,
not finish;
it continues with the loop I've written up...

You might possibly try to compile a kernel for which you are sure you have the full source. I have found that the source that is included with some of the distros dosn't seem to work when you attempt to compile ASLA. I believe this is stated in the README file included with the ALSA drivers.
