-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks -
I am running Development stuff from Fedora, they are gearing up for FC2 and have moved over to the 2.6 kernel. Currently they have a version 2.6.1-1.65 kernel. Using this kernel, compiling the Alsa Driver package has some troubles. First attempting the compile (with intel8x0 and usbaudio selected in configure only) gives this: CC [M] /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/kbuild/../acore/memalloc.o In file included from /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/acore/memalloc.inc:13, from /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/acore/memalloc.c:1: /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/include/adriver.h:425: error: conflicting types for `class_simple_device_add' include/linux/device.h:255: error: previous declaration of `class_simple_device_add' /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/include/adriver.h:426: error: conflicting types for `class_simple_device_remove' include/linux/device.h:256: error: previous declaration of `class_simple_device_remove' make[3]: *** [/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/kbuild/../acore/memalloc.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/kbuild/../acore] Error 2 make[1]: *** [/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.2/kbuild] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.1-1.65/build' make: *** [compile] Error 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-driver-1.0.2]# Bob Chiondi on the Fedora User ml found a great workaround: ''...1.0.2. Try changing KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 2) to KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 1) at line 423 in adriver.h.'' This did indeed get the thing compiled. My snd-intel8x0 module worked great! Well done and thanks to Bob. Maybe you can consider to make this small change in the sources? But when I came to try the snd-usb-audio.ko guy -- which compiled fine -- I [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-driver-1.0.2]# modprobe snd-usb-audio FATAL: Error inserting snd_usb_audio (/lib/modules/2.6.1-1.65/kernel/sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-driver-1.0.2]# Here is the error in /var/log/messages Feb 6 14:39:11 fastcat kernel: snd_usb_audio: Unknown symbol usb_get_device_descriptor I also posted about this to the Fedora user ml and Dave Jones brought in [EMAIL PROTECTED] to discuss if it was right that this should not be exported.

Ah, original bug reporter was using an older FC2 kernel tree, which was based on 2.6.2rc. '' There the thread rested for a few days while I waited to see if there would be an update to the kernel in Fedora Development, but there wasn't. So I went into usbaudio.c and commented out the reference to the missing API, since it was sitting an a routine snd_usb_extigy_boot_quirk() which I didn't need. (I just commented a couple of lines starting at line 263). Then I was able to compile and use the snd-usb-audio.ko and it did indeed fix the bad behaviours I was having with a Logitech headset. So this made me happy in the end :-) Greg emailed me asking me if I pointed this out to the Alsa people and I have now done so :-) - -Andy - -- Note: all HTML Email to me is filtered as spam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAKXw6jKeDCxMJCTIRApzbAJ403bhJh/qjmFIaMozAaoTUsPJa8QCfevHt WAen8SwRmtaZgFO0aDp7gZ8= =REZb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
