Hello all, the following problem: Installed a SuSE 7.2 distro freshly to my disk. Set up alsa (it has 0.5.10b) using YaST2 - both soundcards (Terratec DMX w/ Driver es1968, and Midiman Delta 44 w/ driver ice1712) were detected and configured correctly. Everything worked.
Then built a vanilla 2.4.17 kernel to replace the obsolete 2.4.4 from the SuSE. Built sound support as module (soundcore), installed kernel, then built alsa-0.9.0beta8a (later beta12, but didn't work either) drivers, libs, utils, tools and oss support. Build and installation went without errors. But when I tried to load the sound modules, the following happened: The supplementary modules (like snd-pcm-*, snd-oss-* etc.) all loaded properly, but when it came to load the snd-card-* modules (es1968 resp. ice1712), kernel croaked "module snd-card-* : no such device". Found a hint in usenet regarding upgrade of modutils. Upgraded them to v2.4.15 (latest), then rebuilt everything. This led to an additional warning, telling me "warning: loading module snd-card-* will taint the kernel: no license", and "You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license", which is total nonsense! Still, the "no such device" message shows up, and the modules don't load. Furthermore, kernel tells me that the snd-card-* modules have unresolved symbols, and depmod refuses to resolve these symbols due to the 'missing GPL' problem. What the f*** is going on here? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
