(I'm running 7.1, and my CPU is a 500MHz Intel Celeron; my sound card is a
SoundBlaster Live! MP3+)
I tried installing the driver, according to the linuxnewbie.org article and
whatever README-type file was included with the driver, and using HardDrake
and the suggested mandrakeforum article to try to get it working, and none
of it is working.
Some newbie difficulties with the mandrakeforum article:
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php3?sid=20010104142752
1) modules.conf - should I rename conf.modules to modules.conf? Also, my
machine has another sound chip built-in; should I delete the lines from
conf.modules that refer to it/its driver/whatever?
2) HardDrake / modprobe emu10k1 - whether I type it in from a prompt, or
click on Test in HardDrake, I get the same message:
Error in modprobe call!
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: Can't locate module Xi4@HR
^ ^
(^: the i has an umlaut instead of a single dot, and the R is in a circle
(like a "Registered Trademark" symbol))
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this. :(
3) sndconfig - it tells me not to run it from X. Also, it doesn't detect
my card at all. And since it didn't work...
4) kernel-sources / kernel-docs: I read the kernel-docs, and they didn't
help me. Or perhaps I just couldn't understand them. And if I download
the kernel-sources, what am I supposed to do with them?
5) grep - the mandrakeforum article says:
Ok, to find out about a device, I would 'cd' to that directory and do
grep -i -r live! *
What directory is that supposed to be? /dev?
6) modprobe emu10k1 - see 2, above.
I also get [FAILED] when I boot my machine.
Boy do I need help...
Thanks in advance,
Jesse
