Hello,
I'm running fedora core1 with (I think) the latest up2date rpms. I am
currently running the kernel 2.6.0-0.1.14.
I've 3 questions.
1) about the differences between modultils & module-init-tools
packages. I've read that the modutils-2.4.26-2 package superceeds
module-init-tools-0.9.15-pre4. If so, then why does this happen?
shaka: /opt/src/module-init-tools-0.9.15-pre4/modinfo orinoco_pci
author: David Gibson <hermes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
description: Driver for wireless LAN cards using direct PCI interface
license: Dual MPL/GPL
vermagic: 2.6.0-0.1.14 686 gcc-3.3
depends: orinoco,hermes
alias: pci:v00001260d00003873sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
shaka: /sbin/modinfo orinoco_pci
modinfo: orinoco_pci: no module by that name found
So do I need to install the module-init-tools package?
2) I've tried to compile the kernel-source-2.6.0-0.1.14 and I get the
following warnings:
shaka: sudo make modules
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
*** Warning: "__divdf3" [drivers/video/sis/sisfb.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "__adddf3" [drivers/video/sis/sisfb.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "__fixunsdfsi" [drivers/video/sis/sisfb.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "__floatsidf" [drivers/video/sis/sisfb.ko] undefined!
I guess drivers/video/sis are frame buffer drivers and are not needed
for my toshiba laptop, but why these warnings?
3) Alsa sound questions. I do not seems to have any sound until I run
volume control. Then it works great. Here are my settings for the
modprobe.conf. (I'm sure I've too many settings here)
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116* snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && {
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && {
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >>/dev/null
2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove
Thanks for any suggestions.
