ALS4000 Sound card NOT working in Red Hat Linux 9. I have installed
ALSA Driver from alsa-project.org. OS does NOT load the driver. And I
can NOT configure sound card.

I have installed alsa-driver-0.9.3a.tar.bz2
Souncard detection shows "snd-als4000" but driver is NOT leaded.
modprobe fails -- error messages are --

/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol
schedule_work
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod snd-als4000
failed

Any ideas ???

Yup, that'll happen in the RH9 kernel with the alsa drivers. It
sucks.
Here's the deal - RH likes to tweak the kernel pre-release, and they
happened to tweak schedule_work() to the point where it's
schedule_don't_work(). Heh...

Anyway, DL, compile, and boot to the stock 2.4.20 kernel from
www.kernel.org and you're good to go. Rebuild your alsa driver after
booting to the stock kernel, and it'll load up just fine.

There might even be a fix in an RHN update kernel - I doubt it, but
it's so easy to use the stock kernel, I haven't even checked.

Thanks. I will try that.
