Ok, so insmod did not work, but I did find this out: When I type 'modprode snd-soc-qi-lb60' I get this [547.770000] snd_page_alloc: version magic '2.6.32.25 preempt mod_unload MIPS32_R1 32BIT ' should be 2.6.32.10 preempt mod_unload MIPS32_R1 32BIT WARNING: error inserting soundcore (lib/modules/2.6.32.10/soundcore.ko): Invalid module format It says the same about snd, snd_timer, snd_pcm, snd_soc_core, snd_soc_jz4740, snd_soc_jz4740_i2s,
So would I need specific versions? Perhaps I need to edit the /etc/modprode.d/alsa-base.conf file? I do not see any of the above modules listed there... Thanks for the patience, ufortunately the depmod-a and edit /etc/modules did not work smoothly and the insmod/modprobe is not so smooth either. All that said, I actually like sid. Xiangfu's kernel did not work, I emailed him personally but it was a kernel panic unable to mount root fs (0,0) Maybe I will have to make a new kernel, or will it not work with my ubi? I know this can be solved in time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bas Wijnen Sent: 01/21/12 02:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: I'm back! (sort of) Welcome back, Jane! I very much liked your artistic-centered (but nonetheless often technical) contributions, so it's really good to see you coming back. :-) In case the qi kernel doesn't work, here's an answer to your questions.

They're normally in subdirectories under there, but I'm not sure if that's required. The kernel/ directory is for modules built from the kernel source; misc/ for others. That also means the packaging system (if you'll ever use it) will not touch misc/, so that's a relatively safe place to put "custom" modules.

Then it should try to load it on the next boot. Perhaps that fails. You can see if you load it manually. > After multiple reboots, no sound.

Some commands that my help you: - lsmod: show loaded modules. - insmod: insert module file by hand. Takes a path to a file and module arguments. Can be useful sometimes, but normally modprobe is better. - modprobe: insert module. Takes a module name (not a filename!), which must be installed in /lib/modules/... Arguments are taken from /etc/modprobe.d/*, not from the command line. > 'lsmod' always shows nothing so I know I am missing some step. Try modprobe and see what error message it gives you. If the module is there, but you still have problems, check /dev/sndstat for what the kernel has available. > Please help if you can, I hope to make a live video of the Ben > rendering and then playing some synthesized sound. Cool. :-D Thanks, Bas _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
