Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: arjan's 2.6test kernels and sound: msg#01309

I've tried Arjan's test kernels in the past and discarded them due to
their inability to work with my wireless pcmcia card, but they all
loaded the sound modules properly on boot. I've installed Arjan's
kernel-2.6.0-0.test9.1.90 kernel which happily works with my pcmcia card
for wireless (which has always worked with vanilla 2.6test kernels), but
the sound modules no longer load on boot. The also appears to happens
with a vanilla 2.6test kernel (2.6-test9-bk17). I can't correlate this
to another other updates that I have done. The modules load properly
with modprobe.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

It looks like latest -bk snapshots try to load module by slightly different names. If, for example, it tried to load char-major-14 for mixer device, now it tries to load char-major-14-<minor dev number>.

I fixed this problem by changing in /etc/modprobe.conf
alias char-major-14 soundcore
by
alias char-major-14-* soundcore.

same goes for NVidia drivers, where I had to change
alias char-major-195 nvidia
by
alias char-major-195-* nvidia

HTH

P.S. I hope someone can elaborate on why this behavior changed.

Pavel.
