Folks, I am new to LFS (but not Linux). Have been enjoying myself over the last 2-3 weeks trying to get my LFS system going. I have reached the BLFS stages only. Everything went honky dory, working perfectly as per the 'book', till I got stuck on alsa.
I have an old Intel-845 mother board. The relevant lspci line is as follows: 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 30) alsaconf fails to recognise this card though it is running with my existing 2.4.24 Slackware setup. Yes, the kernel is an issue here. The relevant section of my .config made during kernel compile is here: ---------------------<snip>------------------------- # # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=y # # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture # CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y CONFIG_SND_PCM=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y # CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y # CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set # CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set # # PCI devices # CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=y -----------------------</snip>------------------------ Something wrong somewhere ? Bish [PS : Dont tell me 'RTFM'. I am wading through all the info on the alsa web page as of now, woooof !. Just a quick help from anybody with this kind of adventure may save hours of RTFM] -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
