Having gleefully installed the latest 2.2.17 module as per instructions and to get around the possibly unreported bug of my scsi cdrom not being useful either as data or sound (adaptec 2940), I noticed I now had data! Woohoo! Wait..where are the cheeering crowds...wait, I'm MUTE! Arg... My best guess is that my sound card got nudged unhappily somehow: insmod sscape produces: Using /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol ad1848_init_Re5f86f0c /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol ad1848_unload_R9bf1cc62 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol audio_devs_R904b7dcf /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol sound_unload_audiodev_Ra 948751e /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol DMAbuf_start_dma_Re056b7 1c /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol unload_mpu401_R5febf284 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol probe_mpu401_Rcd91465c /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol ad1848_detect_R3e0356ab /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol sound_notifier_chain_reg ister_Rc5ee3883 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol sound_locker_R90857606 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol midi_devs_R2534ed79 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol ad1848_control_Rc04f6f67 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol conf_printf_R0f280035 /lib/modules/2.2.17-14/misc/sscape.o: unresolved symbol attach_mpu401_Rb18f4f68 I'm trying a full rebuild --rebuild --target=i586 from the src rpm to see if this resolves the problem.
I seem to have corrected this, however, there are some issues related to it: apparently, the /etc/conf.modules + /etc/modules.conf twins format has changed syntax slightly and the sound magic is no longer compatible. old magic (prolly): alias sound sscape pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1 # perhaps not here? options sscape io=0x534 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 mpu_irq=7 irq=5 new magic: pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1 alias sound-slot-0 sscape options sound dmabuf=1 options sscape io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330 mpu_irq=7 So, this works, however something on startup was carping about having /etc/conf.modules AND /etc/modules.conf and that it was ignoring /etc/conf.modules. So I blew the offending file off (well, renamed it) and rebooted....and no sound because /etc/rc.d/rc.sysyinit was looking in /etc/conf.modules. So, I patched rc.sysinit as follows by copying each line matching /etc/conf.modules, inserting copy below the original, commenting orig, changing the ref to be to /etc/modules.conf, rebooted, and smooth as glass now. Well, for the sound...another bug about to be submitted.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
