i need to load trident.o to get sound working. but when i give the command
modprobe trident.o
i get the message "modprobe: cant locate module" then i gave the whole path under /lib i still got the same error.
when i searched the web some body suggested that i should have the following entry in modules.conf
alias trident.o off
i tried it but this file just doesnt save. it is read only.
please help out.
thank you.use
Code Sample
insmod /direct/path/to/module.o
Code Sample
modprobe trident
This will work if its 'registered' in by depmod in /lib/modules i think.Hi ^thehatsrule^,
i did insmod trident.o
i got a bunch of unresolved symbols. then i ran insmod on ac97.o, ac97_code.o, sound.o and soundcore.o. that solved a lot of them.
finally i ended up with only 2 unresolved symbols pcigame_detach and pcigame_attach
which module is this dependent on ?
thanks.I think it has to do with the midi/joystick part... "gameport"
The advantage of using depmod+modprobe is that it takes care of all the dependencies for you.Hi ^thehatsrule^,
thanks for your help. but i need more like step wise instructions. any command to know what are the dependencies for a given module example trident.o then load them one by one.
i am using a sis7019 audio device. the computer is a diskless pc manufactured by norhtec systems. the manufacturer told me that "trident.o" is meant for this pc on kernel 2.4.x and should work out of the box.
