I am running Mandrake 9.2 boxed on a generic 1.4GHz Athelon.
I downloaded the latest kernel source (2.5.4) and compiled a custom
kernel. I have marginal success as I am using it now, but I have 2 issues.
1 I get absolutely no startup screen at all during boot-up, just a blank
black screen. I booted it up a couple of times and noticed hard drive
lights doing something, so I typed in my login name followed by my
password. Then I typed "startx" and KDE started up like nothing is
wrong. Same black screen when I log out.
2 When selecting sound drivers to compile I unselected all but the
emu10k1 which I know I need, but I get no sound. In trying to set it up
I get errors
"Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."
Also my harddrake lists my driver as ?snd-emu10k1 and will not take the
changes to emu10k1.
Other than that my new kernel is flying.
Thanks in advance for all help.
