No, you did not read the article. You're using "alsa-driver", rather than the in-kernel modules.

This IS the in-kernel modules. Originally, I tried alsa-driver, as I prefer that method. It fails to compile at all, so I switched to in-kernel modules instead, where I began getting these errors. Since neither are working, that is why I am compiling alsa-driver again, and reporting the output. Since the in-kernel modules originate from the official alsa-driver sources (in-kernel usually a little older than what is currently available), perhaps snd-powermac got broke at some point and noone has noticed yet. (appears most people running PPC are on newer hardware that uses aoa)

Well, you will get those errors, if you think you're using the in-kernel modules but haven't removed the alsa-driver modules, because guess what, the alsa-driver modules are used in preference. That's why the article says... oh just read the article properly. Also what it says about posting useful diagnostic info.

If the alsa-driver package never compiled, there can't be any leftover modules from it still there, can there?

edit:for clarification-

I did go through and clean out /lib, and make clean anyways.

ubuntu is working on powerbook alluminium 1.6Ghz with the linux kernel 2.6.20-15
(it should be the last one ubuntu ppc burnup iso)

but i can't use this kernel cause i need to recompile it ...
so i need to recompile the gentoo-sources-2.6.x
where x=16,17,19,20

none of them is working using snd_aoa & snd_powermac + the i2c support
on the 2.6.20 i can see the sound board enabled without errors in dmesg and in /proc/asound/*
i can see the /dev/dsp, but alsamixer is reporting no ctrl

i will post the error message as soon as i will access the powerbook ...
BBL


p.s.
in the ubuntu install i see /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15 ... in where there a lot of pathing
(the make menuconfig reports a lot of diff from the gentoo-sources-2.6.20-15)
so may be ubuntu has been deep-patched ?
unfortunately ubuntu /usr/src is not populated with the linux sources, only headers ...
so i can't recompile or investigate ...

disable that and rebuild the kernel. Also, grep for powermac in /etc and you´ll find several aliasas to snd-card-0 that have to be deleted to get the driver to load/work properly.

i did, i recompile with alsa & drivers static inside the kernel
also i removed aliases from /etc/modules.conf /etc/modprobe.conf
(i'm recompiling with alsa & drivers as modules)

it doesn't work, gosh .. have you got a powerbook G4 1.6Ghz ?

mine is a 1.33 G4 alubook and the stock kernel covers all i need, no need to play with patched sources to get sound to work imo.

Maybe you have broken userspace apps, what version of alsa-lib do you have installed f.ex. ? Keep in mind that kernel & userpace have to match in case you don´t use the in-kernel driver. If you are using the latest kernels, ~arch version of alsa-* packages will be needed.

it is a new fresh gentoo install: 2007.0
all emerged from the last portage available

i think 1.3Ghz powerbook are different from 1.6Ghz .... it's an uncommon problem this
how to investigate ?

not much apart from cpu speed, sound chip is the same for sure afaik.

triple-check you have the right software, read again my previous post.

umm i'm using the kernel-in alsa driver, the one in the gentoo-sources-2.6.21
(one of the kernels i compiled: also .16, .19, all using the in-kernel driver)

i cdbooted the machine
i mac-fdisk part the hd
i set the networkframe to the router, and i downloaded: stage3-g4-2007.0 and the last portage-2007.0
i untared then to a fresh volume
i chroot to it and i setted the /etc/conf.d &C
i emerge --sync it
i emerge --update world (as emerge -p --update world shows there is a lot to be update)
i emerge the gentoo-sources-2.6.21
i compiled and instaled it ( .config-ured it as described previously)
i yabooted the OF
i reboot: all is ok
so i emerged alsa-utils and alsa-tools
and the soundcard is not working (as reported)

what have i to do ? or better, do find something wrong in this (handbook) procedure ?

Are you sure your user has permission to use the card? Does it work as root? Your dmesg looks like it's set up properly. If it works as root, make sure to add your user to the "audio" group.

i'm the root: i only work as root on this machine
and it doesn't work at all, as you can see in aplay -l: no sound card
dmesg is reporting sound card found, proc/asound/cards is reporting it
alsamixer is reporting errors (function snd_ctrl_open failed for default: no such device)

also, the portage 2007.0 has a lot of errors in emerge --update world
errors from sys-apps/net-tools-1.60-r14, sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r7, etc etc ...
(errors while loading shared libraries lebexpat.so.9 cannot open shared object file, so such file or directory)

i only untarballed the last portage
adding
LANGUAS="en"
VIDEO_CARDS=radeon
in the /etc/make.conf (there is no USE flasgs)
then run emerge --update world

everything is from the original fresh install
i think there is something wrong with this portage, and it is a new fresh one

is it a : ( bug ?

i had no problems with the 2005.0, 2 years ago ..

Okay, first things first, fix your library issue. You're not following the directions portage tells you! The new version of expat breaks binary compatibility with older versions (including the ones in the stage tarball). You have to run revdep-rebuild (part of gentoolkit) to rebuild any application that was built against expat. This is a necessary operation for fixing binary incompatibility between library revisions and has been this way for years. :p

As for the sound issue, what are the contents of ~/asound after running this command?
Code:

alsactl store 0 -f ~/asound

will this portage issue be corrected in v. 2007.1 ?
i don't exactly know what to do, now
(if to switch to this 2007.0 or if to restore my 2005.0 from backup waiting for 2007.1)

It's absolutely *not* a portage issue.

You've upgraded expat, it's binary incompatible with previous versions. Portage tells you this from the ebuild:
Code:

    ewarn "Please note that the soname of the library changed!
    ewarn "If you are upgrading from a previous version you need"
    ewarn "to fix dynamic linking inconsistencies by executing:"
    ewarn "revdep-rebuild -X --library libexpat.so.0"


Just perform the library rebuild and the problem will be fixed.

There is one issue with libexpat.so.0 (or similar porblem) that could have been addressed specifically by portage - stop subsequent emerges after libexpat is upgraded with sharp warning to run revdep-rebuild right now.
Typical scenario that i hit several times (already fully familiar with expat issue) is to run
Code:

emerge -uD world

expat is updated somewhere in the beginning, but then down the list pango or gtk+ emerge fail, because they
rely on test programs that are still linked against libexpat.so.0. In reality, you need to recompile fontconfig and friends
before you can proceed, but at least fontconfig is not in update list.

Portage level solution will be either to bump fontconfig and friends version so that their upgrade is forced after expat is recompiled (and that they are upgraded right after expat), or at least stop subsequent emerge after libexpat with big letter warning. Or at least something similar to what happen when new portage appears - big warning suggesting to update protage before proceeding with any other emerges
