Some more information to those people who might be willing to help out here... I found that if I boot up, and when it gets to the log-in screen, jump to virtual-terminal-1 (ctrl+alt+F1), then log-in and modprobe trident, then jump back to the gdm login screen and proceed as normal, sound works. this works for both 2.4.X and 2.6.X. note that this doesnt work with snd-trident, just with the trident driver. any ideas why neither kernel is auto-detecting and loading the module? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 10:54:45 +1000 (EST) From: Dan Goodes <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: more kernel woes, this time with sound Okay so here goes. I finally gave up trying to up2date or yum arjan's 2.6.0-test kernels. I downloaded the RPMs from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel/ and RPM happily installed. One thing I noticed was that the version numbers and dates on his updated modutils, kernel-utils and so on were lower than the ones in FC1. Does this mean that his updates are already in FC1? Or should I downgrade back to the older versions? Anyway - So I get 2.6.0-test9 installed from the RPM. Sound doesn't work anymore. Specifically, the new kernel doesn't auto-load the modules for my sound card (according to lspci: "ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device", which under 2.4.X uses the "trident" module, and AFAIK uses "snd-trindent" under 2.6.X). I've already gone through and created an appropriate /etc/modprobe.conf, etc. The relevant lines from that: alias sound-slot-0 snd-trident alias sound-card-0 snd-trident 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 Now though, even when I reboot back into 2.4.22 (the stock FC1 kernel) the sound modules don't load. Any ideas why they don't load automatically? And any ideas why it's stuffed up my 2.4.22 as well (they're two kernels booting into the same FC1 installation). -Dan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
