[Solved]oss died on me

So i decided to upgrade(bad idea). After the upgrade and a reboot oss didn't start up because it couldn't find any mixers in /dev/.
So after fidgeting around and reinstalling oss a couple of times, now i see /dev/oss/ is back.

]$ sudo ossdetect -v
Detected Intel High Definition Audio (ICH7)
USB support available in the system, adding USB driver
Detected Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)

$ sudo soundoff && sudo soundon
FATAL: Module oss_hdaudio not found.
Loading module oss_hdaudio failed - ignored
FATAL: Module oss_usb not found.
Loading module oss_usb failed - ignored

Any ideas? Having no sound really blows.

EDIT : I had to downgrade my kernel to 2.6.36.2-1 and my kernel headers to 2.6.36.2-1. Now oss works. Gonna have to put my kernel on IgnorePkg.

Re: [Solved]oss died on me

Try running

/usr/lib/oss/build/install.sh

to recompile the kernel module for the new kernel.
