[PlanetCCRMA] Kernel 2.4.22

[Andre Almeida]

Hello.

I'm using the new kernels. Everything seems to be working fine. I had
one slight problem though, I can use my midi interface (Midiman UNO) if
I plug it in while the machine is running, otherwise it will prevent the
alsa modules from running.


I have these messages in /var/log/messages

        Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost kernel: ALi pci audio not found or
        device busy.
        Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost modprobe:
        /lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-ali5451.o: Sep 20
        20:15:40 localhost modprobe: init_module: No such device
        Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost modprobe:

        /lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-ali5451.o failed
        Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost modprobe: Hint: insmod errors can be
        caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or
        IRQ parameters.
        Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost modprobe:       You may find more
        information in syslog or the output from dmesg
        Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost modprobe:
        /lib/modules/2.4.22-6.ll.rh90/kernel/sound/snd-ali5451.o: insmod
        snd-ali5451 failed Sep 20 20:15:40 localhost alsasound: Starting
        sound driver snd-ali5451 failed
        

While looking at this problem I also found out acpi is not running on my
Toshiba laptop. I'm not sure if this was working on the previous
kernels. Again, in /var/log/messages:

        Sep 20 20:15:28 localhost kernel: Asus Laptop ACPI Extras
        version 0.24a
        Sep 20 20:15:28 localhost kernel:   Couldn't get the DSDT table
        header
        Sep 20 20:15:28 localhost kernel:   Error registering Asus
        Laptop ACPI Extras Driver
        Sep 20 20:15:28 localhost kernel:         -0420: *** Error:
        Could not allocate an object descriptor
        
Thanks 

André
