Description of Problem: ERROR: No Sound Modules Found Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: /sbin/sndconfig Steps to Reproduce: 1. login 2. su 3. /sbin/sndconfig Actual Results: soundcore.o was not found in the module search path Expected Results: Working sound Additional Information: The default install would allow the proper soundcard to be selected. However, after a re-compile of the kernel the tool displayed the error. There is no documentation on how to add module paths.
Did you set CONFIG_SOUND=Y in your kernel config?
Yes config_sound=y
Booting the computer often hangs when loading PCMCIA
opl3sa2: not setting ymode, it must be one of 0,1,2,3 opl3sa2: not setting loopback, it must be either 0 or 1
Fixed by adding necessary kernel perameters to /etc/grub.conf Sound system (built into kernel) is detected however it does not work Is the kernel defunct?
Ah, if CONFIG_SOUND=y, then soundcore.o won't be a module, so you'll get that error from sndconfig. It's really designed to work with the config of the kernels we ship. If it doesn't work built-in with the correct parameters, that does sound like a kernel bug, yes. Note that if it's an ISAPnP card that isn't detected by the kernel's PnP support, it's impossible for it to work compiled statically into the kernel.
OK. I got sound working by compiling as a module. However, I get a strange message that says: hdc: ide_cdrom_setup failed to register device What could be happening here?
Fixed that too by recompiling as a module. Apperently this release kernel still has a few "bugs" in it. Thanks for all the help.
