[linux-audio-user] demudi-base config (Newbie)

Hello I'm almost as new to Debian and Linux as I am to DeMuDi, so I've kind of dropped myself in at the deep end I guess. I've successfully installed the demudi-2.4.18 kernel, which I must say was remarkably smooth i.e. my system still works jus as well as it did before I installed the new kernel. Well done to whoever packaged that up! However, when I get to the point of configuring demudi-base it comes up with: modprobe: Nothing to load ??? Specify at least a module or a wildcard like \* and then it hangs. I'm confused. Where should I specify these modules? Also my system can't find any opti92x module does this mean I have to go find/download one? I've been running the bluepoint/OPTi soundcard with mad16 semi-succesfully up to this point. modprobe won't load seq-oss either which makes me suspect I have conflicts with my modules (?) :-/ I will admit to being only about half-way through all the available documentation, which _is_ mighty, _especially_ if I was compiling it. I don't suppose anything like a straightforward demudi install HOWTO exists just yet (I guess you're all flat out with current developments). My eyes are going familiarly wiggly with on-screen reading, so I thought I'd dash off a quick email just to see if the list could give me any obvious pointers. forgive me if I'm being an utter twink here. If so, even a brief RTFM response would probably give me a significant clue. I include the results of my most recent lsmod & dmesg just to illustrate the point. yours hopefully tim hall tim(a)glastonburymusic.org.uk ******************************************************************************** Module Size Used by Not tainted parport_pc 22056 1 (autoclean) lp 6336 0 (autoclean) parport 22976 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] serial 44064 0 (autoclean) opl3 11112 0 (unused) smc-ultra 5024 0 (unused) 8390 5920 0 [smc-ultra] ipv6 123424 -1 mad16 7392 0 (unused) ad1848 20896 0 [mad16] isa-pnp 28168 0 [serial smc-ultra ad1848] sb_lib 32480 0 [mad16] uart401 6080 0 [mad16 sb_lib] sound 52620 0 [opl3 mad16 ad1848 sb_lib uart401] soundcore 3492 5 [sb_lib sound] af_packet 11528 0 (unused) rtc 5528 0 (autoclean) ext2 30784 3 (autoclean) ide-disk 6624 4 (autoclean) ide-probe-mod 8080 0 (autoclean) ide-mod 130892 4 (autoclean) [ide-disk ide-probe-mod] ext3 56864 0 (autoclean) jbd 35272 0 (autoclean) [ext3] unix 13316 44 (autoclean) Linux version 2.4.18-586-demudi (free@leporello) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Tue Oct 15 11:19:17 CEST 2002 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 0000000003000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) On node 0 totalpages: 12288 zone(0): 4096 pages. zone(1): 8192 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
