OSS v4 doesnt work with some kernels

mjheagle8 · 2012-01-19 21:33:10

Hi all,

I've noticed that with some kernels, I can't get oss to work. The problem is that it fails relinking kernel modules.
For example, with kernel 3.1.9-1:

Relinking OSS kernel modules for "3.1.9-1-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload modversions "
This may take few moments - please stand by...

OSS build environment set up for REGPARM kernels

Anyone know why this happens? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I've never had problems with oss and all my custom kernels.
Did you install the proper linux-header package?

mjheagle8 · 2012-01-19 22:33:31

I installeded the linux-header package of the same version as the linux package. is that what you mean?

i get the error

FATAL: Module oss_hdaudio not found

so it appears that my driver is not in the kernel... pacman -Ql | grep oss_hdaudio also showed a lack of this driver

Yes, this is what I meant.
"oss_hdaudio" is no Arch package but a kernel module which gets compiled by the build script.
Unfortunately I can't help you better.
