Here's a strategy I occasionally use... |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
1) Download a Gentoo "minimal install" and set up a USB key to boot from it. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
2) Boot the PC from the install USB key. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
3) Execute the command... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
lsmod | less |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
4) Manually scan the output for anything related to sound and write it down. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
That should give you an idea of what modules the install decided on |
| 14 |
after doing hardware probing. This'll work for almost any device. I |
| 15 |
recently installed Gentoo on a older machine with an ethernet chip that |
| 16 |
identified as a string of numbers which didn't help me. But checking |
| 17 |
"lsmod | less" showed the "e1000e" module in use. I compiled in the |
| 18 |
driver that gives that module and it works. |

To get a screen capture that you can post here... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1) Boot from the install USB key. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2) mount /dev/sdxy /mnt/gentoo |
| 25 |
Where "x" is a, or b, or c, etc. "y" is 1, or 2, or 3, etc as |
| 26 |
appropriate for your machine. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3) lsmod > /mnt/gentoo/mymodules.txt |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Reboot, from the hard drive, find "mymodules.txt" and check it. If |
| 31 |
you need further help, post it on this list. |
