Thanx for everyone's help on this!  As you pointed out, the message
relates to supporting a second sound card, which isn't present on my
system.  So I just need to alias it off.

I appreciate the info!

Something is trying to access a second sound card.  As you only have one
soundcard, alias them to off.

I have an AWE32, and the relevant bits of conf.modules are:
# synth0 is the awe synth
alias synth0 awe_wave

# synth1 is the sb's built-in fm synth.
alias synth1 adlib_card

# first sound card is the sb
alias sound-slot-0 sb

# no second sound card
alias sound-slot-1 off

options adlib_card io=0x388
options sb io=0x0220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5

# make sure we load an sfbank for the awe synth
post-install awe_wave /usr/bin/sfxload  /usr/lib/sfbank/synthgm.sbk

module aliases

1999-08-24 Thread Gregory T. Norris
Periodically I get the following messages in my logfiles:

 modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-1
 modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-1-0

How can I tell for certain which modules I need to add an alias for, or
if I should alias them off entirely?  I'm running kernel version 2.2.11,
and my soundcard is a SoundBlaster AWE64 (ISA).  The following
sound-related modules were created when I compiled the kernel:

 awe_wave
 sb
 uart401
 sound
 soundlow
 soundcore

I tried browsing through the various header files, but didn't see
anything which seemed relevant to this issue.

Any suggestions appreciated.  Thanx!

GTN How can I tell for certain which modules I need to add an alias
GTN for, or if I should alias them off entirely?

The kernel source reveals that these modules are needed for kernel
ALSA support, and the ALSA documentation explains how to use these
module aliases.  If you're using the generic boring kernel sound
drivers (isn't beta software *fun*? :-) then it's safe to turn off
these modules with lines like

  alias sound-slot-1 off

somewhere under /etc/modutils.

sound-slot-%d is /dev/dsp%d and /dev/audio%d

so if you have one sound card

alias sound-slot-1 off
