Hi Christoph. Thanks for offering help with compiling a kernel. So you still
suggest putting USB audio & USB midi in the hotplug blacklist? I'd have
thought they would have shown up in lsmod. Perhaps not. Is there a list of
available files similar to Synaptic on FC1,FC2,Debian? Or can you suggest a
kernel to emerge so as to compile it from source code? Do I have to emerge
anything else to compile a kernel? The main things I want the kernel to
handle are 8139too for my NIC, and all the Alsa stuff including USB-audio . I
tried to compile the kernel when installing Gentoo. A terrible failure, and I
gave up for about 5 weeks. Went for it again the other day. All the system
had been emerged and was in the root partition, so I just carried on where
I'd left off , this time compiling the Genkernel, unfortunately missing USB
audio support. Thanks in advance for any help. Nigel.

Hi,
I don't think theres a problem in this case
with OSS
modules. Lee sort of confirmed what I was dreading (No
usb-audio compiled in the kernel) .
There's no problem yet, but it will as soon as you install
snd_usb_audio while the OSS-modules are still present. I had
lots of troubles with damaged sysex packages.
I'll try and find some
info on compiling a new kernel without interfering with the
existing one. If it goes ok, and there are still problems,
I'll put those 2 OSS modules in the hotplug blacklist. With
FC1 & FC2 I had to add "Audio" & "USB-midi" to the hotplug
blacklist to get Alsa to load up properly. Thanks for the
reply.
As I got my Gentoo box snd_usb_audio was already there.
OTOH, I'm currently running a vanilla 2.6.10 with the RT-LSM
applied and I'm relatively happy with it.
If you plan to build your own kernel, let me know and I'll
give some hints.
Best regards
