Hi

Recently I updated my system with the latest versions. But after doing that ALSA (alsa-driver 1.0.7-r1) stopped working. I get these errors when I try to run it:

In kernel 2.6 you do not need alsa-driver, please use the inkernel alsa system.

but the driver in kernel is the old version that is why I use the latest alsa-driver packages. And alsa-driver worked just fine until recently so I would like it to get working again as it used to.

You could try to look in bugzilla: bugs.gentoo.org if a bug is reported for this issue, or report a new one.

chances are your kernel built ALSA modules and alsa-driver is installing over them but in a different location, so modprobe is confuesd. a-d-1.0.7-r1 has been updated to check for this problem.

Today I upgraded the kernel from -r3 to r6. This time I made sure I disabled all the ALSA or OSS options in kernel config. I compiled the kernel and installed int and recompiled alsa-driver and nvidia-kernel. All was fine.
Then I again tried to emerge module-init-tools 3.1 abd the problems started again right after that. I then downgraded again and all is again back to normal. So all I have tried to do points to some problems in module-init-tools 3.1.

Aah damn! The new mit

I wondered why my system stops booting when loading snd-seq-oss when nothing changed at alsa :wink:

downgrade module-init-tools was the solution for me.

i started having this problem too. dont know how i fixed it but THEN i have this problem:

running alsamixer or amixer i get

"illegal instruction"

is this the cause? i have NOT downgraded that package yet.

ok i found out that compiling alsa with CFLAG -msse2 causes alsa to break.
