Hi, I've finally succesfully compiled and linked saa7134-alsa driver using an external alsa-driver and its Module.symvers file. Everything seems okay, no undefined symbol or something else: - An installed 2.6.30.4 kernel which only builds and brings soundcore and sound_firmware, - Latest alsa-driver built externally and installed, - Latest saa7134-alsa, cx88-alsa, etc. code from linus-2.6 (seen that they don't affected by some API/ABI changes) patched on top of the alsa-driver tarball, I'm copying Module.symvers file generated after building the alsa-driver into each directory for getting rid of undefined snd_*() symbols. When I plug a saa7134 PCI card and reboot, the -alsa driver is automatically probed but it immediately oopses. I wonder if this could be related to my weird-but-apparently-successful compilation experience above?
