I have never had this sort of problem with a kernel build before...at least on a desktop. I just built the 2.2.18 kernel on my laptop from the source tarball. It appears that this kernel doesn't produce a soundcore.o module, which is absolutely required (apparently) for sound to work at all. I have built and installed alsa, I have gone into the source directories of 2.2.18 and don't see a soundcore.o module but DO see a sound_core.o module. Thing is, and I just don't get this, when I try to load that module, I get errors modprobe can't tell what kernel the module was compiled for (It's in the 2.2.18 directory!! It is OBVIOUSLY built for the 2.2.18 kernel). Anyone? What does it take with a 2.2.18 kernel to get the soundcore module built and working? I have tried rebuilding the damn kernel twice and MADE SURE BOTH TIMES that I selected ALL the requisite sound support options. It appears that this doesn't matter for there is no damn soundcore! Help...someone? -- Praedor Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain. ---
