Re: [Wlug] Fedora Core 6 kernel source???
I solved my Fedora Core 6 sound card problem. I found and rpm'd these files: alsa-driver-1.0.13-56.fc6.at.i386.rpm alsa-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-1.0.13-56.fc6.at.i586.rpm For some reason alsa files are not part of: <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/> Similarly my 'yum' can not find them. Now I can not remember where I did find them. Why was this so difficult? What is it that I do not understand about the Fedora packages? Some folks told me that ALSA was part of Core 6. I was using ALSA with Core 4. I thank you all for your efforts :-) Ken Jones
That looks like an updates directory, have the Alsa packages been updated or would the ones in the distribution directory be the latest? I haven't used Fedora, but I'd assume you'd have a couple locations that yum would go for packages, maybe you only have the updates location defined? -b On Fri, 08 Dec 2006 20:17:33 -0500 ken jones <kjones@ziplink.net> wrote:

That's because they're 3rd party packages from atrpms.net that neither fedora nor redhat have anything to do with. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC
I'm sorry we were unable to help you get the official built-in Fedora Core driver for your sound card working. Note that since you have opted for a non-Fedora Core provided driver, you will now have to install a new third-party alsa-kmdl package from the ATrpms repository everytime a new Fedora Core kernel update is released.

ALSA is a part of every Fedora Core release. It isn't packaged separately--it is part of the standard Fedora Core kernel package. It should "Just Work". Since it didn't just work, would you mind helping us out to figure out why? Standard Fedora sound driver for your sound card (two kernel versions shown here): $ rpm -ql kernel | grep emu10 /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/emu10k1-gp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1 /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1-synth.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1x.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/emu10k1-gp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1 /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1-synth.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1x.ko /etc/modprobe.conf: alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
