Title: Sound probs in the new kernel
Post by: Doogee on 20 November 2002, 11:18

Hey, i downloaded and compiled the 2.4.19 stock kernel and everything is great but sound wont work. i get some error. It must be the new kernel cos sound works fine and dandy in windows.
I cant boot to the old kernel cos for some reason it just boots the new one. im gettin red hat 8 tomorrow so if its too much trouble ill live without sound for a night but any suggestions are sure welcome.

I would opt to hold of for RH8. I'm too damn tired to do this stuff tonight.  (http://smile.gif)

Shouldn't be a problem unless I kick off before your RedHat comes in. And if I do, there's plenty of others here more than capable of helping you out.

Let's put it this way. If you were to drill a hole through your floor to the center of the earth, then keep on going until you came out the other side your drill would probably come through my floor.  (http://smile.gif)

That would be a great idea except for the 15000+ degrees celcius solid iron core at the centre of the earth, that would be a bit hard to get around.

That's why you have to do it "really quickly" so your drill bit doesn't melt.

Sings:

"were livin' on solid rock, standing on, sacred ground, living on, borrowed time and the way could change, further down the line"

yes i know it, it was released by Goanna in 1982 and was a big hit in australia, despite the fact that many australians obviously have no concept of what the lyrics mean even if they do know them.

and i know i sound like a cocky smartarse here, so i deeply apologise since that's not how it's intended, but it's 'the winds of change are blowin' down the line'.
