modem & souncard problems

[Graham Barnett]

Thankyou for the suggestions re my above hardware problems. I have established that I definately have an AMR modem riser card it has the following numbers on the card   MRS-R 990857290 on a sticker on the front A84MR184SR        on a sticker on the back CE0197X         printed on the circuit board   Andrew wrote AMR modems......Linux supports at least one of them. If the modem looks like what's described above it could be trickier.   So I welcome any suggestions.   Re my Yamaha DS-XG soundcard. Thanks for all the information. I have downloaded Alsa-driver-0.5.12a.tar.bz2 and managed to expand it into the alsa-driver-0.5.12a directory. From here the simple install instructions turn to custard The ./configure demand produced error messages because it could not find /version.h I (rightly or wrongly) created the path it was looking for ie /src/linux/include/linux and copied the version.h file from /usr/include/linux to that directory. This allowed the ./configure command to run without error. Next I tried to run 'make' which produced the error messages   #error "You should not include /usr/include/{linux,asm}/ header" #error "files directly for the compilation of kernel modules." #error "" #error "glibc now uses kernel header files from a well-defined" #error "working kernel version (as recommended by Linus Torvalds)" #error "These files are glibc internal and may not match the" #error "currently running kernel. They should only be" #error "included via other system header files - user space" #error "programs should not directly include <linux/*.h> or" #error "<asm/*.h> as well." #error "" #error "To build kernel modules please do the following:" #error "" #error " o Have the kernel sources installed"   located  in /usr/src/linux #error "" #error " o Make sure that the symbolic link" #error "   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build exists and points to" #error "   the matching kernel source directory" #error ""   managed to do this #error " o Now copy /boot/vmlinuz.version.h to" #error "   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/version.h"   file /boot/vmlinuz.version.h does not exist although I have  a vmlinuz file, and a version.h file, in that directory. the path to copy the file to also does not exist, and I'm not sure what the "uname -r' refers to. #error "" #error " o When compiling, make sure to use the following" #error "   compiler option to use the correct include files:" #error "" #error "   -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include" #error "" #error "   instead of" #error "" #error "   -I/usr/include/linux"   I see no reference to any of the two command lines in the makefile. #error "" #error "   Please adjust the Makefile accordingly."   So I have come to a standstill yet again and welcome any advice Cheers Graham Barnett.     --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
