Summary: Re: Sound issues using 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs and SB Live! 5.1

Hi, I just wanted to sum up the issue I was experiencing. The emu10k1 depends on the ac97_codec. As both Matt and Bob pointed out modprobe would cover this dependacy. After confirming things worked, I rebuit my kernel successfully with emu10k1 built in which also works as prior research sugg

A side question if you don't mind. It is my understanding that people use modules to make a lighter/smaller kernel. Is that correct? Other reasons? I have compiled kernels 30 times or so and most of the time I have no modules loaded. (maybe because I am clueless?) Are modules supposed to

Hi, I am trying to troubleshoot why I do not have sound on my system (specific info below). I have had this hardware configuration working before, using a customer kernel and frozen at the time. The errors are similar to the problems I had using the stock kernel 2.4.18 & 2.4.19 as well for debian
