Very Computer

Hi all.

I just installed RH51 and upgraded to the 2.0.35-2 kernel. I discovered
two problems after doing this ( although could be unrelated .. I don't
know ) :

- SOUND doesn't work. Doing a make modules_install, it says that
sound_syms.o can't be found. Looking in /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound, I
see that sound_syms.c isn't even compiled, even though I have specified
in the menuconfig that I wanted SB16 compatible sound, /dev/audio, MIDI,
etc .. compiled as a module.

- MODULES are kind of messed. Some modules don't autoload even though
kerneld is running and depmod -a has been run. depmod -a, when run, gives
me massive "unresolved symbol(s)" for many ( all? ) of my .o files in the
modules directory.

Ideas ?

re-run make config, make xconfig or make menuconfig
make dep; make clean
make zlilo; make modules;make modules_install
reboot

Yes. Unfortunately that's what I've done ... about 10 times.

When I tried to build the modules, one of the error message I got was:
   sound_syms.c: In function `export_sound_symbols':
   sound_syms.c:104: warning: implicit declaration of function
   `export_uart401_syms'

Subsequently sound_syms.c was not compiled.

I've tried reinstalling the kernel sources, tried the steps suggested
above, but still got the same result.

In the end, I bypassed the problem by compiling sound support into the
kernel itself, and not as a module. The card seems to be working now.
