[request]kernel26 without alsa-driver

Roberth · 2008-02-22 18:23:42

Hello

Could somebody be so kind to make a PKGBUILD based on kernel26 in core just without alsa-drivers included, so I can use my own alsa-driver package?

You're supposed to make a diff, rather than remove alsa then put it back in.

Roberth · 2008-02-22 19:56:52

Well you see the problem is that I dont know how to make a diff:)

http://www.linuxforums.org/applications … patch.html does this help

brebs · 2008-02-22 20:26:56

Example:

cd /usr/src
diff -Naur linux/ linux-old/ > mypatch.diff

Roberth · 2008-02-23 01:03:33

I know how to use a patch, but creating it, knowing which code I have to change.

To just install the alsa 1.0.16 kernel drivers, there is an easier way: wget alsa-driver, unpack it, then run the usual inside its directory:

./configure
make
make install

Roberth · 2008-02-23 12:12:01

I tried that, but it just tried to overwrite the kernels drivers.

brebs · 2008-02-23 14:14:05

Yeah, that's what it's supposed to do

Roberth · 2008-02-23 14:54:32

So that means I have to reinstall it each time I install a kernel? And after I've installed the new driver package, do I just need to modprobe the driver form alsa I want?

Anyway, when I installed alsa-driver and rebooted, it couldnt load a lot of modules from alsa.

no
add an option in pacman.conf
...
[options]
NoUpgrade = [lib/modules/2.6.24-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko]
...
obviously replace [*] with the path to your kernel driver; it should not contain a leading slash '/'

Roberth · 2008-02-23 17:08:12

And again this is going over my knowledge, I don't know which drivers I need.

raeven · 2008-02-23 17:16:17

it's the files that are getting overwritten,
this option simply tells pacman not to overwrite them when you install or upgrade a pkg
'lib/modules/2.6.24-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko' is the location of snd_hda_intel my sound driver. your might be different

Roberth · 2008-02-23 17:49:13

Ahhh okay, sorry I was a little bit confused, but what modules from alsa do I need to load now? My audio card's chipset is c-media 8788.

am not really sure, what's the output of `lsmod|grep snd`

Roberth · 2008-02-23 18:17:02

I have no modules from alsa loaded, I managed to accidentally remove them from rc.conf...

raeven · 2008-02-23 18:29:15

i think the required module si cmipci
umm, `modprobe cmipci`, it should drag in all it's deps.
if you have sound i assume it should be ok to only install that file from your custom pkg, otjerwise you may end up having
to blacklist all the files in the pkg

Roberth · 2008-02-23 20:10:13

Hm, I found out that I had to modprobe snd_cmipci, but then this appear:

bash-3.2# modprobe snd_cmipci
WARNING: Error inserting snd_mpu401_uart (/lib/modules/2.6.24-ARCH/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_opl3_lib (/lib/modules/2.6.24-ARCH/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-lib.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting snd_cmipci (/lib/modules/2.6.24-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

To fix "Unknown symbol in module", *recompile* the module for your kernel.

Kernel modules should be recompiled every time you compile a kernel.

Isn't NoUpgrade directive deprecated?
