[solved] oss not working with new kernel 2.6.30

..[~]> sudo /etc/rc.d/oss start

This may take few moments - please stand by...

Any ideas?

edit:
is this because I still have an older version of gcc? Do I just need to wait for my mirror to sync?

Hmm I'm not sure exactly what was going on here but it seems I had an incompatibale version of oss installed.
I redownloaded from AUR and it works.

..[~]> yaourt -S oss
warning: downgrading package oss (4.1_1052-1 => 4.1_1052b-1)

Re: [solved] oss not working with new kernel 2.6.30

That is actually a more recent package.
Sometime ago there was some discussion about the version numbering on the oss package.

Had exact same problem. pacman -S oss fixed it for me. This thread was of great value
