alsa.tczl + modules does not create /dev/snd/*

[Roberto A. Foglietta]

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?

[earlytv]

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?

[Jason W]

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

[Jason W]

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.

[earlytv]

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

[Jason W]

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

[earlytv]

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?

[Jason W]

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

[earlytv]

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?

[Jason W]

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?
