Hi all,
I have been using kernel 2.6 from arjan rpms site sice 2.6-test4 and they work great! thanks arjan.
Up to kernel 2.6 test7, sound was working ok with no errors. Some time later, I updated to test11 and now to final 2.6.0-1.104 and I'm now getting on my volume control:
"Couldn't open mixer device /dev/sound/mixer"
Somewhere around test8, they changed the way kernel refers to character devices. Previously kernel tried to load char-major-xx, but now it tries char-major-xx-yy (where xx is a major device number and yy is minor number).
You should change in /etc/modprobe.conf line
alias char-major-14 <something> to alias char-major-14-* <something>
to make it work.
whenever I start the desktop.
I found some helpful tips here: http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/120468
and so, my sound now just works if I do modprobe snd-mixer-oss.
I'd like to know what changed from test-7 to test11 and final and what could I do to have the sound mixer working again.
Also, if it is related, instructions for getting ALSA working with this new kernel are very welcome!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
