Kernel 2.4.25 and Alsa does not work anymore

Hi, yesterday I made an pacman -Syu and it installed a newer kernel, namely 2.4.25, on my system. And today I realised that my sound does not work anymore, s.th. is wrong with the modules now. With lsmod my sound modules are not listed anymore and when I make a modprobe cs46xx I get the message
"Note: /etc/modules.conf  is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.dep"

Could anybody give me a hint what I should do now?

Re: Kernel 2.4.25 and Alsa does not work anymore

on customized kernels you have to reinstall alsa each time you upgrade the kernel.
Don`t know with arch-kernels, perhaps just give pacman -S alsa-lib alsa-driver alsa-utils alsa-oss a try and restart linux?

I installed all files again and rebooted, but still I get error messages while shutting down (s.th. about no soundcard) and while booting. But now the sound works  :?

Although this isn't the case with 2.6 kernels:)

Re: Kernel 2.4.25 and Alsa does not work anymore

first  off reinstalling alsa would be necessary for after you upgrade your 2.4.2x kernel . then run depmod -a as root , then try modprobing in your sound modules to make sure everything is working then reboot (if you want )

Hm, I used the way which seemed to be easier and installed the 2.6er Kernel. Don't have any problems with it (so far).

yeah no need to have alsa packages if you are using 2.6 kernels as alsa is nativel;y supported now.

You are not using ALSA, but OSS. An ALSA module always starts with SND_

Re: Kernel 2.4.25 and Alsa does not work anymore

I tried both, modprobe CS46xx and modprobe snd_cs46xx.
But I solved the problem now with my 2.4.25 Kernel (although I get a few error messages) - nevertheless, I use now the 2.6.3 Kernel.

Do I have to compile alsa from abs, when I am using my own 2.6 kernel like it was in 2.4? Or can I just do a pacman -S alsa* and everything should work?
