 Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2004 9:59 pm Post subject: Sound card/NIC not being recognized |
 |
|
I just compiled 2.6.1 and ran that on my laptop, and it's incredibly fast compared to 2.4.22. However, my both my sound and networking don't work in 2.6.1. As far as I can tell, I built everything in properly. I added i82365 and ds to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6, and I checked that cardmgr is running. No problems there. And, as per another thread, I ran:
| Code: | env-update
source /etc/profiles
ldconfig
update-modules force
|
After restarting, I still couldn't get Gentoo to recognize my network. As for sound, I built into my kernel the laptop drivers in menuconfig, but still no go.
Any ideas?

hi,
i assume your network card is PCMCIA but your sound is inbuilt?
as for the network, does anything appear in dmesg?
as for sound, what happens when you try and play some audio? did you choose ALSA or OSS in the kernel config?

Both sound and NIC are builtin. I checked my dmesg, but couldn't find anything useful. (I can post my dmesg if you'd like.)
I believe I also included drivers from both ALSA and OSS (because ALSA alone didn't work). Some of the guys in the local LUG were saying that in 2.6.1, you need to emerge module-init-tools or else the kernel won't load the modules. I already had it emerged, but I rebuilt it anyways, still without luck. My /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 has ds, i82365, etc., all in there, so they should be loaded, but, as I recall, the output while the system starts up tells me something about how it couldn't load (find?) the modules.

i'm fairly sure thats doing no good. please take out the OSS support, leave ALSA in, and tell me exactly what happens when you try and play a sound, and which application you are using.

yes please, and the output of lspci (from pciutils package).

are you sure you specified to compile those things as modules in the kernel menuconfig? they dont just appear by magic y'know

I hope you've checked this sticky post before messing with your settings

I checked, and i82365 is builtin ("y"). Couldn't find DS. I thought they were both modules under 2.4.22. I can rebuild the i82365 as a module, but I don't see how that would be all that different than having it builtin to the kernel.

ok, for your network you need:
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Networking support --->
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
[*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
(Y to this one)
<*> RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support
<*> RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support
(Y to these two)
|
for audio, make sure OSS is all off, then:
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Sound --->
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
(hit M against all the main alsa options, except verbose printk/debug
PCI devices --->
<M> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 South Bridge
(hit M on this one)
|
then, emerge alsa-lib alsa-oss alsa-utils and alsa-tools.
edit /etc/modules.d/alsa following the comments, then
rc-update add alsasound boot
on your next reboot, run "alsamixer" and unmute the main channels (this only needs to be done once).
for more info on this alsa setup, see agent_jdh's post in this thread
