Stumped and stupid still
I tried again for a using the following steps
1. unzipped tarball in /home/tmp
2. "make emu10k1" (no quotes)
3. "make"
4. "make install"
5. copied emu10k1.o to /lib/modules/2.x.y/misc/ (don't recall version numbers
8-))
6. added "alias sound emu10k1 to /etc/conf.modules per creative instructions
(see above)
7. added the above pre-install / post-remove commands
not quite sure what to do with the above mentioned "modprobe emu10k1" command
but added it to the end of the /etc/conf.modules file and rebooted machine. I
got 1-1/2 pages of dependencies errors and the sound module failed. OK, I'm
not giving up on this so I copied all the *.o binaries to the
/lib/modules/2.x.y/misc directory with the emu10k1.o file and tried again with
the same results.
SO, I'm right back to where I started - glazed look on my face and my wife
shaking her head and mumbling something about my mistress with the glass face
8-).
Anyone got any ideas, remember my newbieness status.
TIA
