"could not load alsa drivers" usu occurs if the oss modules are not removed before trying to install the alsa modules. You can try lsmod | grep sound to verify that oss wasn't unloaded. You can check /var/log/messages or run insmod snd-xxxx where snd-xxxx is the module for your card for more info.krumpli wrote: Well the installs proceeded with the only problem that my next to final message being "could not load alsa drivers".
What was the name of the alsa pup file you downloaded?
You should be able to uninstall the dotpup via pupget package manager. However, that wouldn't cleanup the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script.Since there was no uninstall for alsa pup I attemted to remove "alsa" by deleting two alsa folders.
Which two alsa folders did you delete?
I now have problem on boot up where script shows my /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.29/modules.dep
This isn't really a problem, just a system notice.
I'll create a script to uninstall alsa. Untill then you can manually clean up /etc/rc.d/rc.local by deleting all of the following lines:AND in addition there appears to be a reference in file rc.d that needs to be edited or removed since the follwing message also appears:
"Copying alsa modules into place...
/etc/rc.d/rc.local: /etc.rc.d/rc.loadalsa: No such file or directory'
Code: Select all
echo Copying alsa modules into place....
cp -r /usr/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/sound/* /lib/modules/2.4.29/sound > /dev/null
depmod
#load alsa
/etc/rc.d/rc.loadalsa
