I still can't get f'in alsa to work with anything above 6.6-rc2-love1.
I've been through the alsa guide multiple time, and nothing doing!

I just enabled the alsa modules in the kernel and it worked
you are using the kernel alsa modules rather than just enabling the sound core and using the alsa-driver modules I take it?

I've also been having problems with ALSA, ever since 2.6.1-love1  gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1 works, so i'm using that atm.
I've got an ancient Yamaha OPL-3 card (onboard sound on a 440LX motherboard - I'm still waiting for my nforce2 board to arrive). I just get
| Code: | ALSA device list:
No cards found |
at boot.
[edit] Yes, I've enabled ISA support, ISA PnP support, and the right ALSA driver for the card. It just doesn't want to detect it.

2.6.2 is out
I really think my computer is beginning to hate me with all these kernel compiles. |

How do you think mine feels? I've compiled every release at least a dozen times before unleashing it. Thank God for a computer with horsepower.

There's a new ebuild in portage? Didn't know that... I presume they've forced it to get the source from namesys so it gets the latest release then.
A lot of us had been manually downloading the new versions to the distfiles folder and rebuilding the digest to install it.
Namesys have a dreadful versioning system so they are all version 0.20 despite some being uncompatible with others. Which is |

| Any ideas about how to fix the kernel oops problem with usb mass storage? I posted my syslog output in the sardine release thread. Something in khubd barfs when I unplug anything using usb mass storage. |

Same message on all 3 of mine(NF7-S rev1.1, rev1.2, rev2.0)
Worked great up to 2.6.2_rc2-love4

| You know what, I've had a problem with ALSA too recently. (since about 2.6.2_rc2 lovex) When I boot, I get as far as the "Restoring Mixer levels" message, and my machine seems to hang. (nothing else pops up.) I got around it by taking alsa out of the boot sequence and starting it by hand. I haven't had time to diagnose the problem yet. The only thing I can see so far is that when it loads on boot, I start getting "module snd-whatever is already in the kernel". It's not; it's a module and it isn't loaded anywhere else. |

This can be fixed by reverting the patch I mentioned earlier in the thread. I'm not sure about the rest of it though.

Right. Thanks. 
The rest... well thats now happening on my last kernel too. So I am a little confused about what happened. I can't think of anything I've done except upgrade the kernel and install kde-3.2, which doesn't seem a likely culprit as ive not even got it running. |

Atleast you get it to load by hand. I get no sound at all.

it is working everything but I am having hd slowness.
when I just start X , pekwm , and an aterm my hdparm -t /dev/hda tells something like 40 mb/s but after I open some apps my hdparm -t /dev/hda tells something like 20 mb/s or sometimes and like 5 mb/s . |

I noticed those HD slowness on my system too. And aside of that, the responsiveness of the system goes bad when the CPU is at 100%, e.g. while compiling or emerging some stuff. I'm back on 2.6.2_rc1-love2 which is the latest kernel version that doesn't show this regressions. Any ideas where I can start debugging? In one of my previous posts, I mentionned that this regressions where in -mm too, I've not come to test vanilla, but will be posting my results a.s.a.p.

i also got those problems, however not that apparant since my HD never goes beyond 25MB/s anyway, even under perfect conditions.
However i only have 256MB ram, and i notice that when i'm compiling something and the system is swapping a lot from and to the ram and CPU is at 100%, the responsiveness is much worse than with earlier versions of love.
