[Openvortex-dev] au8820 ALSA driver

[David Liana]

I compiled ALSA (v0.9.2) with the latest patch.  Compile and install 
went smoothlessly. (I use gentoo, so I had the ebuild script download 
the source and unpack it, I manually patched it, and then had the ebuild 
compile and install it.  The module does get installed)

I keep getting this error:

# modprobe snd-au88x0-synth
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/pci/au88x0/snd-au88x0-synth.o: couldn't 
find the kernel version the module was compiled for
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/pci/au88x0/snd-au88x0-synth.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/pci/au88x0/snd-au88x0-synth.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/pci/au88x0/snd-au88x0-synth.o: insmod 
snd-au88x0-synth failed

I have modified my files that generate /etc/modules.conf so that I use 
ALSA now. (I use Gentoo and they have docs on how to do ths).  Here is 
the section:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore

##  ALSA portion

## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

options snd cards_limit=1

I use Gentoo, with the vanilla-kernel (v2.4.20 found at kernel.org, 
unpatched), kernel headers 2.4.19, GLIBC 2.3.2, GCC-3.2.2

Anything that I have overlooked?  What am I doing wrong?  Am I not 
loading some additional modules?  Or is this a bug?
