Hi there!

Just recompiled my kernel and therefore also reemerged the alsa- drivers.
They compiled without errors.
Now when I try to start alsa, I get the following:
Code:

[root@geromy nepumuk]# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
 * ALSA is not loaded
 * Loading ALSA drivers...

Before, I changed the option "soundcore" in the kernel to "module", but I already changed that back again. I tried emerging "alsa-driver" a couple of times, but that didn't help...

Any ideas?

Help is appreciated,

soenke

PS:
some system specs:

kernel 2.4.24
alsa 0.9.8
soundcards: cmedia cm8738, ess solo-1
(although you might have guessed that from the above:)

Is this is a new kernel? Did you change the symlink in /usr/src to point to the kernel you are actually booting?

The general sequence of events is:
* Build kernel, modules
* Reboot (make sure symlink points to the correct kernel)
* Emerge alsa-driver
* Modprobe or reboot

it seems that your kernel wasn't built completely.

try re-building the kernel and the modules

Problem solved

I apologize for bothering you, I was just too dumb to get the name of the kernel image right.
Thanks anyway for your help!

Regards,
