Sound module won't load after kernel upgrade

Corneliax · 2004-04-29 19:21:00

I just upgraded to kernel 2.4.26 along with xfree, perl, gaim and alsa-drivers with pacman. After I restarted, I got the following message while loading modules:

snd.o couldn't find the kernel version the modules was compiled for

The modules I load for sound at boot are snd-via82xx and snd-pcm-oss
Anyone have any ideas for getting my sound back?

Thanks

here's the full modules load failure:

[root@archbox corneldm]# modprobe snd-via82xx
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed

Check here

if you don't know your soundcard

lspci

You are not saying what you upgraded from.

I have a VIA chipset and onboard AC'97 sound:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio (rev 02)

Everything was working last night with kernel 2.4.24. Do I have to recompile the alsa driver for my sound card with kernel 2.4.26? If so, how is that done?

xerxes2 · 2004-04-29 21:35:46

Check if kernel is alsa ready

modinfo soundcore

if it is try

modprobe snd-intel8x0

Corneliax · 2004-04-29 22:35:23

[root@archbox corneldm]# modinfo soundcore
modinfo: soundcore: no module by that name found

I didn't have to modify 2.4.24 to get alsa working, is this a different case?

Thanks for helping me out with this xerxes2. I just got into arch earlier this week, so I'm still learning the ropes.

xerxes2 · 2004-04-29 23:10:11

I only used Arch for a couple of days myself.

I use kernel 2.6.5 and that one was alsa ready.
I don't know with 2..4.26 though but it seems that it is not.
Someone who is more in to Arch must answer that question.

Maybe it's a mistake of that person who compiled the kernel.

I can't help you out anymore here I'm afraid.

You're running lilo right? And you didn't run 'lilo' after installing the new kernel, like it told you to...

kpiche · 2004-04-30 07:13:46

I use grub actually. Thanks for the reply tho.

neocephas · 2004-04-30 16:11:27

I am having a similar problem with my cs46xx sound card. I was just syncing from kernel 2.4.26 to the newer 2.4.26 and then my sound modules stopped working. Any ideas?

Corneliax · 2004-04-30 16:53:47

No, I'm using grub as well.

I even tried installing arch from scratch since I just set up the system a few days ago. Now my video and sound modules won't load with the same kernal version error as before. Something must have been missed when compiling 2.4.6-2, because 2.4.6-1 worked fine.

Oh, and I'm using powervr drivers for my Kyro II graphics card, so I compiled them on my own with the kernel I'm trying to use them for. So that error makes even less sense to me than before.

Thanks for any suggestions you guys may have.

xerxes2 · 2004-04-30 16:59:03

I think that Xentac should sit down on his big butt and make a new kernel that is Alsa ready! :evil:

Module ready in general. VESA is ugly :cry:

iKevin · 2004-04-30 22:58:21

Oddly enough. I have the same error. pacman updated alsa-driver yesterday and, since I have a custom kernel 2.4.26, I recompiled using makepkg and installe alsa-driver. I get the folowing when I try to load the modules:

deadface root # modprobe snd-maestro3 snd-pcm-oss
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for

/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod snd-pcm-oss failed

I'll try to figure this out this weekend.

I think that there is no alsa-soundcore in the kernel source.

Xentac · 2004-05-01 02:35:46

If you compile a kernel with gcc 3.3 and compile modules with gcc 3.4, they won't work together.

iKevin · 2004-05-01 11:29:54

Thanks, that is what I was thinking but I am having trouble with getting that kernel to compile with 3.4.

iKevin · 2004-05-01 12:42:17

I recompiled the kernel and alsa-driver with gcc3.4 and I am still getting the same error when trying to load the modules. I'll try to snoop around a bit more with google.

Thanks
Kevin

iKevin · 2004-05-02 11:38:39

Hello

I was able to successfully downgrade gcc to 3.3.3 and recompile the kernel and alsa-driver. After do so, I was able to load the modules without troubles. I find it odd that gcc 3.4 kernel and gcc 3.4 alsa-driver gave that error yet gcc 3.3.3 versions failed.

Good luck
Kev

iKevin · 2004-05-02 13:35:33

Just a final update.

I downgraded built the kernels and modules that I want with gcc 3.3.3 and then upgraded back to gcc 3.4. This way I have working kernels and sound and I can keep up with the rest of the arch world. It also addresses my separate need for a gcc 3.3 compiled kernel due to a vendor supplied module.

Kev

Corneliax · 2004-05-02 18:44:38

Where can I download the gcc3.3.3 package? I don't have it in my cache, but I need to rebuild my kernel and modules with it.

Thanks

iKevin · 2004-05-02 18:52:20

wget ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distrib … pkg.tar.gz

Good luck
