Since changing to a new machine, I've not been able to get the alsa
drivers (current CVS) to load. Everything builds OK but when I try to
start the drivers I get an error about no sound card being found.
I've transferred the sound hardware over from the old box, and the
modules.conf lines. I've run snddevices in the drivers dir.
Running the init script or a bare modprobe gives:
bash-2.05# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
Starting sound driver: snd-card-ice1712 alsactl: load_state:1026: No
soundcards found...
/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd.o: post-install snd failed
/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd.o: insmod snd-card-ice1712 failed
A second modprobe does load the modules but they are unusable.
The problem appears to be related to snd-timer as the following appears on
console 10:
Oct 28 16:22:32 xena insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd.o:
post-install snd failed

Modules.conf: (relevant stuff)
#
# ALSA native device support and OSS emulation support. Uncomment these
# lines to enable ALSA:
#
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_major=116
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ice1712
options snd-card-ice1712 snd_index=0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
#
#Set mixer to stored defaults (with alsactl store)
post-install snd alsactl restore
#
lspci & /proc/interrupts both show the card to be present and correct.
Any ideas what's going on -- a new bug? Me doing something daft? Dodgy
hardware?
TIA
