i think if im gonna go with tarballs,
which is easier for me
to understand, then ive gotta figure out some way of
removing *all* of
the alsa libs from mandrake.... otherwise there are
thousands of apps
that complain when i try to do rpm -e libalsa2 for
example....
That's fine. Fi these are merely alsa conflicts
(which you are trying to resolve anyway) then you can
do rpm -e --force to ignore those conflicts.
hmm... it might be worth me tryig the second
option....
in which case i'd need to update kernel and get
latest rpms from
mandrake cooker?... and thats all i need to do?...
then just modprobe as usual?.... scuse obvious
questions but i havent
done alsa from rpms before ;-)...
There are docs for this on the Mandrake User pages.
If you do this, do "rpm -ivh, NOT rpm -Uvh which will
overwrite the old kernel. This is generally a bad
idea unless you KNOW the new kernel will work. You
also need to run lilo afterwards to make sure it sees
the new image.
I am also planning on releasing a kernel with the
preemption patches, but it uses 2.4.19, and the rc2
alsa stuff. If you would like, I could send that
along instead of the cooker.
are you running your mandrake builds for ECMC from
rpms or tarballs?...
Neither. I am using the default modules that came
with Mandrake 9. The Turn-key package merely installs
the libs-devel and utils for ALSA, the modules are
already there and require only a modification of
modules.conf. I just posted a new ALSA help page on
my site, linked from the insallation instructions.
You can go there to see my process.
im in the process of downloading your turnkey audio,
it looks really
good and i'd like to run it as its built for mdk 9.0
- its probably a
good idea if i work on the same system as yours....
Well, I think it is a pretty good system, and it works
for me. Once you get the ALSA stuff going, the rest
should be a snap.
