[elrepo-devel] status on kmod-alsa-1.0.21 ?

[David Ranch]

Hello Phil,

The kernel I'm running requires that I disable kABI checking as I need
to enable AX25 support.  I'm assuming that the elrepo code REQUIRES kABI
support.  I was able to compile the kmod-alsa-1.0.20 package but when I
tried to install it, I received various missing ksym errors.  I assume
that's because of disabling kABI .

Finally, I agree with you about trying a alternative kernels.  I'm
actually booting up a few different live cds:

Fedora
- 11 - alsa 1.0.20 - doesn't see the MIC
- 12 - alsa 1.0.21 - doesn't see the MIC

Ubuntu
- 9.04 - alsa 1.0.18rc3 - doesn't see the MIC
- 9.10 - alsa 1.0.18rc3 / pulseaudio - doesn't see the MIC


Anyway, lets hold off on the kmod-alsa-1.0.21 thing.  I'm either out of
luck with this USB sound card or something is mis-configured and I have
to dig more.  We'll see.
