How can I eliminate this dependency?

Code:
johnny5 root # emerge alsa-utils   
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 4) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) alsa-driver-1.0.8rc1.tar.bz2
 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.10
 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options
 *   ALSA is already compiled into the kernel.
 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
 * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging
 * this package again.

!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1 failed.
!!! Function check_extra_config, Line 455, Exitcode 0
!!! Incorrect kernel configuration options
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


TIA,
Daniel

try before
Code:
 emerge -pv alsa-utils
and see why it tries to emerge alsa-driver.

I've tried that already. I have no idea why it wants to do this...

Code:
johnny5 root # emerge alsa-utils -vp

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I don't know if your problem is the same as mine ... but you can try injecting the alsa-drivers

It is because when you compiled alsa in the kernel you choose probably chose not to compile oss.
Try emerging alsa-utils this way
Code:
 USE="-oss" emerge -pv alsa-utils

It is. I figured it out, I didn't have any 2.6 sources via Portage on my box. I used the kernel.org sources. Since I didn't, Portage assumed that I needed the drivers. I emerge gentoo-dev-sources and it worked great.

Thanks,
Daniel
