OK, I think I have discovered the problem Many distributions, Mandriva in particular, gzip their .ko modules to save space. Unfortunately make install-modules on alsa only removes snd-\*.ko modules. This means that the kernel/sound tree is still full of the old sound modules as well as the new ones, which I could well see could cause infinite grief. The make file for alsa-driver under the install-modules should make sure that not only all the snd*.*o modules are removed but also the snd*.*o.gz are removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
