I was successful just downloading the oss emu10k1 source from http://opensource.creative.com. As long as you have kernel-headers-2.2.17 installed, you just have to compile the module and it will work with the stock 2.2.17 potato kernel.
Just compile the module, make install, add 'alias sound emu10k1' to your /etc/modutils/aliases and then run modprobe emu10k1. Worked like a charm for me. -Rob On Thu, Dec 14, 2000 at 02:42:55PM -0600, Robert Guthrie wrote: > I was able to download 2.2.17 kernel sources, where the emu10k1 module was > present.
