Greetings list; Duh. I assume that everyine knows I'm running alsa-1.0.4, and that the kernel, version 2.6.5-mm3, has been rebuilt 4 or 5 times since installing the alsa-drivers-1.0.4 stuff from a tarball. My method of doing this means that the /lib/modules/kerbel.version modules tree gets replaced with a clean copy everytime I build and reboot to a new kernel, which may be >once a day!
I note that I'm getting quite a few error messages like this, although the audio seems to be working: Apr 10 20:41:46 coyote kernel: ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:727: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer Apr 10 20:42:18 coyote last message repeated 52 times Apr 10 20:42:44 coyote last message repeated 50 times Anybody have any ideas what this might be? Do I need to add an alsa driver re-install section to my kernel builder script? In that event, where in this sequence should it be inserted? 1. set VER 2. make clean 3. make bzimage 4. do all the vmlinuz cp'ing and System.map relinking including the keeping of a one generation old version for recovery purposes 5. make modules 6. do the mv'ing of the current /lib/modules/kernel.version to kernel.version-old 7. make modules-install 8. depmod It seems to me that since the driver install actually works in the kernel tree, any alsa additions inserted in the above pseudo-script really should be in front of the "make bzImage". Is this assumption correct? Explain please. Also, there have been messages on lkml that indicate that no one should have a working simlink on their system called /usr/src/linux, only /usr/src/linux-2.6 should link to the kernel being built. What is the "alsa" stand on this point? Does it demand a working link to the src tree of the currently running kernel named '/usr/src/linux'? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
