 Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2003 3:22 pm Post subject: Got a new machine, installation issues |
 |
|
My last machine got fried so I got a new one. I need some help in knowing what to install. Its an Athlon 2500+ with an nForce2 based motherboard. I am using the onboard Sound and Network. The video card is an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro. I ran through the installation once so far using genkernel and it has lots of errors on bootup.. my main question is when compiling the Kernel, what do I need/not need? I don't see anything in there for the onboard network interface or sound card, so do I not select anything? What about sound? Do I enable DRM (and choose Radeon) or is that for a different card? I have no issues w/using a 2.6 kernel if that helps makes things easier..
Thanks,
Frank |

you need the nforce drivers for network and audio:
| Code: |
# emerge nforce-net
# echo nvnet >> /etc/modules.autoload
# ALSA_CARDS='intel8x0' emerge alsa
# nano -w /etc/modules.d/alsa
//make it look like this (notice the two uncommented alias lines):
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
## OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
##
//continuing...
#rc-update add alsasound boot
//now either reboot, or try doing this:
# modprobe nvnet
# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
|
Finally, after you recompile your kernel, you'll have to do this every time (unless switching to 2.6 which has alsa built-in -- that'll be a whole other mess):
| Code: |
# emerge nforce-net
# ALSA_CARDS='intel8x0' emerge alsa
|
[/code]

| Thanks payam.. quick question - what sound and net options do I choose in the kernel config, if any? |

enable sound and network, but don't bother installing any "drivers" for them. ie: just select the first item in the list so that the other items show, but delselect them...
