alsa.tczl + modules does not create /dev/snd/*
« on: April 06, 2009, 03:59:17 PM »
I have initiated and configured the alsa sound system but /dev/snd still missing.
I think the excutable snddevices is missing and I think it shoulb be added:

Code: [Select]
wget http://www.linuxplusvalue.be/download/snddevices
sed -e "s/ln -svf /ln -sf /" snddevices >/usr/local/sbin/snddevices
chmod a+x /usr/local/sbin/snddevices
snddevices
[code]

This script need to be modified in order to work with ln from busybox.
[/code]

Upon loading alsa.tczl and it's deps and using the command "/usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start" I have the /dev/snd directory:

Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ ls /dev/snd
controlC0  pcmC0D0c   pcmC0D0p   pcmC0D1c   pcmC0D1p   timer
tc@box:~$

Is anyone else having issue with the /dev/snd not being created?

I have /dev/snd.
I did all it says under alsa so I dont have to keep doing

sudo alsaconf

but I still do.
Make any difference I use tcz alsa?

The tcz alsa works fine with me to start the sound automatically on boot.

Oh, and make sure you have recently downloaded the alsa extensions as there have been changes to them recently, most recent a bug fix in the startup file.

I have the old one installed I think, how do you get rid of something installed to update?

If it is tcz, then the tcz-uninstall.tce extension will do it.

Still have to do sudo alsaconf?
I have to click on 3 items during sudo alsaconf to get sound to work.
One is something about changing a file someplace?

Does the startup script "/usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start" not work?

No it still dont work? When I run sudo alsaconf this happens, maybe more then other systems?

(building card database
searching cards
I pick cs5535audio hit ok
configuring snd cs5535audio
modify /ect/modprobe.conf   I pick yes
preparing card for playing
run script alsasound  I pick yes)


So many things on these systems seem different?
On the 32 and 64meg solid state flash ide drives this works

root (hd0,0)
kernal /boot/bzImage  (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx other items)

but on the 512meg solid state flash ide drives I could not get anything to boot untill I added this?

root (hd0,0)
kernal /boot/bzImage  root=/dev/hda1

the boot keeps saying cant find bzImage without it?

It seems there are other issues involved outside of alsa that I wish I could help with but I do not have the hardware such as flash ide drives..

From the error below, it looks like you need to load the bash extension?
