to restore your mixer settings you have to do this
set desired mixer settings with your mixer
run as root alsactl store
and in /etc/conf.d/local.start add alsactl restore
and thats is

Looks good. But it would be cool if you could provide a README with the patch so that I can always check that to see what changed instead of having to read through the posts in the forum. Also it would be very nice if you could provide individual patches like andrew does so that you can choose which ones you like and which you don't. Otherwise provide a link to the lkml where the patches was originally posted.

Thanx.

Whoohoo, i finally got 2.6 working!

clean install, 2.6-love2, promise raid, framebuffer, sound, working just fine!

and it only took me 4 kernel compiles on this install

(and about 5 on the original install)

only bugs i found were the MCE errors that should be fixed in the final (the patch from linus is already in the files) but keep reappearing

and that uname insists it's love1

is the lirc patch included in the love2 sources or do i have to patch the kernel manually ?

@grzewho

lirc is not yet included. I just sent the patch to steel300. I hope he includes it in the next release.

@MouseJockey:
I got midi working with my SB Live and 2.6.0-love1 (will try love2 soon) by compiling sound support, alsa, oss-emulation, and emu10k1 all as modules.

Then emerge awesfx and use the sfxload command to load a sound font. You have to do this because apparently there's no built-in or default soundfont. If you have a Windows install, you should have one or two soundfonts in your windows\system32 directory (they are .SF2 files).

After that you have to make sure it's outputting to your first wavetable device instead of "rawmidi". It's in the sound system section of KDE's control center (for me it's the second in the list of midi devices).

After all that, KMid plays fine for me (except I get no midi sound from the left speaker, everything else plays in both). I couldn't get it to work any other way (for all the 2.6 kernels I've tried). All the sound stuff must be modules, and you need oss emulation. Any other configuration resulted in strange problems, like /dev/sequencer missing or inaccessable.

Oh yeah, you may also need to modprobe snd-seq-oss if it isn't already loaded at boot up.

I've got everything working, that's so nice: 2.6, ATAPI Burning, Webcam and ALSA

The next thing is the bootsplash :twisted:

can anyone help me to get my gentoo box running with the newest love sources ? the problem is that i can`t run any services during init, because of acces denied to /var/lib/ini.t . everything runs fine on any other kernel (ck-sources , gentoo-dev sources, and other)

to fix the weird permisions problem you need to unapply this patch :
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0/2.6.0-mm1/broken-out/access-vfs_permission-fix.patch
just do : patch -p1 -R < access-vfs_permission-fix.patch

peace

Nice work!
But what about making it patchable from the kerneltree? If I try running the patch manually from /usr/src/linux/, it just complains about where the files is.
It should be easy to install it whithout the need of the ebuild. :roll:

I'm using es1968 driver. When it loads dmesg reports error -12. When probing. I've already upgraded alsa-lib and alsa-util to 1.0.0_rc2. I can manually rmmod snd-es1968 then modprobe es1968, but after fiddling with kernel settings it would lock the whole machine up. I then compiled in the sound drivers instead of as modules and it gets error -12 on probing. I went back to 2.6.0-mm1 and no problems.

My main computer Athlon 1800+ using a Turtle Beach santa cruz with the snd_cs46xx drivers wokrs great, that's the one I want the latest love sources to work on.

This is more of reporting an issue, may be an issue with the latest alsa patches. No big deal for this computer. I'll see with future releases.

Thanks for your contributions to linux!

In case anyone cares... I've updated my script for the new maintainer and the new stable kernel. Here:

Can you not try and apply the love-sources specific patches to mm2? then get the proper version when steel300 comes back
