Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just upgraded my kernel with make oldconfig and noticed new options for |
| 4 |
sound. Other than taking in excess of 50 seconds looking at the penguin |
| 5 |
before the kernel starts booting up I found out upon bootup that alsasound |
| 6 |
fails to find the kernel driver for my sound card: |
| 7 |
=========================================================== |
| 8 |
# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart |

* Unable to find any ALSA drivers. Have you compiled alsa-drivers |
| 13 |
correctly? |
