problem compiling alsa-driver

phunni · 2004-05-07 13:38:50

I ran abs and then created a directory called alsa in /var/abs/local/

I then copied all of /var/abs/multimedia/alsa-driver/* into my new directory and ran makepkg

I got the following error:

Any ideas what's going wrong?

OK - I think the problem may be acpi related. I'm using the stock 2.4 kernel and just about everything in the kernel config that's acpi related is y or m

I have installed acpi and acpid, but I still get the same problem.

This is pretty crucial - I need to have sound working. If I try to use the modules I get from doing

pacman -S alsa-driver

then I am told that they aren't compiled with the right version of the kernel

Someone please help!

phunni · 2004-05-07 18:54:34

an alternative approach would be to help me install the alsa-driver binaries. In some ways this might be easier or better...

Dusty · 2004-05-07 20:06:02

Do you have the *latest* stock 2.4 kernel? That should work properly with the alsa-driver package.

another option is to install the stock 2.6 kernel; is there any reason not to?

Good idea to run pacman -Syu before installing new drivers and stuff.

Alternatively, if you're using a specific release, you could take [current] out of pacman to make sure only that release is used. IMO, it's better to keep up to date... even on dialup (in the middle of a huge Syu myself... )

phunni · 2004-05-07 21:38:34

I do have the latest stock kernel and when I try and load the drivers I get the following errors:

 modprobe snd-intel8x0
/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: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed

The reaons I haven't gone for 2.6 is simply that 3D rendering didn't work with my card in 2.6 last time I tried (my card is an ati radone mobility) but it's fine in 2.4

sarah31 · 2004-05-08 04:29:52

to compile the alsa driver you usually have to have the full compiled source in your /usr/src/

so what you can do is compile the kernel with makepkg making sure not to use the -c option then when compiling is complete move the linux-2.4.xx into /usr/src

then compile your alsa-driver.

or file a bug.

phunni · 2004-05-08 09:50:13

I followed sarah31's suggestion and alsa-driver succesfully compiled, but after installing the new package and running depmod -a I still get the same error regarding kernel version

When I get a chance I will file a bug

kpiche · 2004-05-09 00:54:32

I had this problem too. I kept the updated kernel24 but downgraded to alsa-driver 1.0.4-2 and that solved the problem. Good luck.

lanrat · 2004-05-11 20:40:20

Alsa-driver still doesn't work with kernel24 after upgrade. I've just filled a bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=903 (I'm surprised that nobody have done it so far :-) - everybody is using only kernel26? I'd better do the same ;-) and until it gets fixed I'll just use emu10k with kernel24).

sarah31 · 2004-05-13 00:16:43

one reason may be that it may not be a arch problem but a kernel problem. have you researched to see if anyone outside arch is having these issues?

or could it be a GCC issue? are you using 3.4?

lanrat · 2004-05-13 14:14:58

Unfortunatelly even after last upgrade of kernel24 and alsa-driver the problem is still not corrected :-( I'll try to search with google for possible reasons and for now I'm just using kernel26. I'll let you know If I find something. You can try to recompile the kernel and alsa driver yourself with gcc 3.4 and see if it helps...

phunni · 2004-05-13 14:27:01

I'm using 2.6 now and everything is fine...

kpiche · 2004-05-16 23:05:32

The problem is that the new version of GCC 3.4 throws out unreferenced static variables, such as the kernel_version string. You need to recompile the alsa-driver package with -O1 instead of -O2 optimizations.

See the bug report I submitted: http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?id=912&do=details

Here's the GCC changelog, check out the 13th bullet:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html

kpiche · 2004-05-17 14:04:34

Specifically it's a new optimization in gcc3.4 unit-at-a-time. Compile with -O2 -fno-unit-at-a-time.
