Hi all. You may be aware of the problems I have been having recompiling the alsa utils with gcc-3.0.4 and kernel 2.4.18. My question is does anyone have the beta 2.5.3 kernel I believe it is? Does it have some problems that affect a lot of people? I would imagine that there are some problems considering the thing is beta. However, the only reason why I was thinking about this is because alsa is in the standard kernel tree the last time I heard, so I could just build the right module into my beta kernel. The only other option I can see aside from that is to re-install my system back to the way it was before i.e., 2.2.18pre21-idepci kernel, and then build the whole thing over again. I am going to check the alsa docs and see if I can't figure out why the utils won't compile, but does anyone know why this would happen? Considering that the modules, alsa library, and oss library all compiled fine? I know I mentioned this in a prior post with subject "recompilation problem," but not sure if anybody got it. Thanks in advance!
