Hi, i'm just try to install new alsa drivers for my sound card, everything looks good but after compiling and modules instalation i get this:

1. output from alsaconf :

Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

Have a lot of fun!


2. dmesg output :

Something must be wrong...
Waiting for reply, thanx

What Slackware version is this?
Current is on alsa-driver 1.0.11
The alsa driver is built for a particular kernel and must be update with the kernel.

Current version i've got is alsa-driver 1.0.10. i'll try 1.0.11 version, but what does it mean "must be updated with the kernel", i need to recompile kernel?

I've got now new alsa-driver-1.0.12rc1, and when i want to compile i get this error, see end of output:

See `config.log' for more details.

I'm running slackware 10.2, and i get same error when i try with old alsa-driver, but before it works ok i was able to compile new alsa driver. I've removed 2.4 kernel, modules and header because i run on 2.6 kernel i dont need 2.4 i think.
