ALSA in hard-drive installForum: Multimedia Topic: ALSA in hard-drive install started by: clayton Posted by clayton on Mar. 21 2004,11:10
Hi all, so far very happy with DSL in my little 700M hard-drive partition. One last issue remains, though....After not succeeding in getting kernel sound modules to work, I tried my old standby, ALSA (already working on two other pure Debian installs)..... Built a new kernel, compiled and installed ALSA modules, ran /usr/sbin/alsaconf which dutifully probed and loaded the correct modules, and sound worked just fine at this point. I then did an "update-rc.d alsa defaults" to add alsa to the boot scripts. However, when I reboot, the only modules loaded are snd-mixer-oss, snd, and soundcore, and I have to rerun /usr/sbin/alsaconf to get sound going again (kind of tedious). This procedure works in my other Debian boxes. What do I have to tweak (presumably in the Knoppix scripts) to get ALSA to start at boot time?? (Note that I have tried the alsa-autoconfig script off of my Knoppix CD, and sadly it seems to break more then it fixes.) Any pointers would be welcome. I have been hacking at this one for days.

Might try to put your command in /opt/bootlocal.sh

Nope, /opt/bootlocal.sh doesn't give any more results. Kinda itchy to have this work because I am actually doing this install on an old PII for a neighbor who is a Linux newbie whom I don't want to drive back to winblows.
