sound devices destroyed at restart
distro: slackware 10.1
kernel: 2.6.11-5 custom driver: alsa 1.0.8 my sound works, but everytime i restart my pc i have to recompile the sound devices (running ./snddevices from the source) these are: /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi isnt that weird |
Sounds like udev is not doing the right thing... Check if /etc/rc.d/rc.udev is executable and you've sysfs support on your kernel. Oh and use the original udev in Slack 10.1 or upgrade to the latest one (there was a update between them that was broken).

Instead of actual device nodes, udev *should* be creating symlinks to ALSA devices in /dev/snd. For instance my /dev/dsp is actually a symlink to /dev/snd/dsp. Udev will "erase" any modifications done to /dev at each reboot, so running ./snddevices (which is depreciated anyway and you aren't supposed to use it for anything above 0.9.4) won't fix the "problem".
One thing that I did to kind of give udev a "helping hand" with this "problem" was to add the following to the end of my /etc/modprobe.conf: # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Now all the appropriate symlinks are created, except for /dev/midi it is actually a node and not a symlink.
