[PlanetCCRMA] problems installing asla

[Harrison Thomas]

Hi Fernando

Thanks for the quick reply. I ran the two rpm queries-> the kernel query
returned i386 but the alsa-driver query returned i686! I have no idea how
the i686 driver got installed, since I removed the alsa packages and
reinstalled. It was probably already there. Oh well. I just went to system
logs and looked at installed rpm packages - it lists both
alsa-driver-0.9.0-43.1.i386.rpm AND
asla-driver-2.4.19-1.ll-0.9.0-43.1.i686.rpm!! Synaptic just lists the
"alsa-driver-2.4.19-1.ll", no i386 or i686. How do I remove just the i686
driver? If I remove the alsa-driver-2.4.19-1.ll with Synaptic, will that
remove the i686 driver also? Then just reinstall the i386 driver? Or remove
all alsa packages and reinstall (altho that's what I did just before
emailing the list and the i686 driver is still there.)
Yes, the new kernel boots just fine, I've turned the low latency patch on,
modules.conf was written to succesfully by alsaconf (no snd- except sound
card)and matches the listing on the PlanetCCRMA site, except for sound-card
name.

Again thanks for the help

Harrison

For some reason the kernel does not match the drivers. I assume you have
successfully rebooted into the new kernel, right? I do have a machine
with the i386 kernel and drivers installed, let's see if the architectures
for the rpms in your case match, in a terminal do:

# rpm -q --queryformat  "%{ARCH}\n" kernel-up-2.4.19-1.ll
i386
# rpm -q --queryformat  "%{ARCH}\n" alsa-driver-2.4.19-1.ll
i386

Both should be i386 in your case.
And this should be the version number of the driver itself:

# rpm -q alsa-driver-2.4.19-1.ll
alsa-driver-2.4.19-1.ll-0.9.0-43.1

If both match then there is something wrong with the rpm in the site. I had
a problem a while ago but I (supposedly) fixed it.

Probably not, the reason is that alsa has not started, I think. What is
the content of /etc/modules.conf?
