<depressed_tired_of_pointless_hacking_mode> I suppose it's the height of naivite to expect an answer about Debian around here, but here goes... </depressed_tired_of_pointless_hacking_mode>
Once again... I upgraded to Potato. Yes, stupid, but I'm really really tired of waiting. The upgrade thought it a great idea to remove my working alsa-modules package and replace it with... NOTHING! Poof, perfectly good sound is out there, somewhere. So I have tried to replace it... reinstalling, trying other kernel versions (including this new-fangled kernel 2.2.x thing which is apparently the greatest thing since sliced bread, but won't run on a computer with THREE SERIAL PORTS!!! Ever heard of a machine so unusual? I mean a shared IRQ that's like, IMPOSSIBLE isn't it??) I tried recompiling my old drivers, 0.3.pre4 something, and could only do that if I installed gcc272 as well, and actually got them compiled. Now I come to the subject line. I have over a screenful of depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/isapnp.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/persist.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-ac97-codec.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-ad1848.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-audiodrive1688.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-audiodrive18xx.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-audiopci.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-card-ad1848.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-card-cs4231.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-card-cs4232.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-cs4231.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-cs4236.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-detect.o ... and so on. How on the planet do I resolve them? Yes, they're all the alsa modules, so what? How do I fix this? I have a very limited time to hack and I don't like spending 4 hours fixing something that was working fine. Thanks for bearing with me in my misery, and please, give SOME indication that someone is out there that has done this before??? <sigh> -- Jonathan Markevich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
