I just installed Gentoo 1.4 rc1, and I'm having trouble getting sound to
work.
I'm running Linux kernel 2.4.20 (built from gentoo's kernel source),
compiled with GCC version 3.2.2.
Running:
# modprobe i810_audio
loads (I belive) all sound modules (soundcore, ac97_codec -- in
addition to i810_audio), and dmesg does not show any errors.
I noticed that the /dev/sound directory didn't exit, so I ran MAKEDEV,
but it dumped a bunch of error messages like the following:
mv: can not move `mixer-' to `mixer': Operation not permitted.
Anyway, it'd be quicker to identify the devs that were created, which
were:
/dev/sound/dsp
/dev/sound/mixer
As a sanity check, I tried booting from my Knoppix CD, and sound works
fine with it, so I know the card works. If it matters, Knoppix is
running kernel 2.4.19, compiled with GCC 2.95.4). lsmod on Knoppix
shows the same sound modules as it does on Gentoo, so I'm pretty sure I
got the right modules, and that I'm not missing any.
This is where I ran out of ideas. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
- PK
