As I have an athlon cpu I tried installing an athlon kernel but no
2135
athlon source.rpm available. On the
alsa.org site I found src.rpm
rebuild options, one of which is
" --target <i386> <i686> <athlon> " so a rebuild with
--target athlon
did the trick, no unresolved symbols and a working alsa.
Yes, that was my bad. Will be looking into way to build my own
multimedia kernel now, as I said the Planet CCRMA kernel locks my
notebook pretty fast, and since both Slackware and Mandrake have
multimedia optimized kernels for their distros it must be "doable" if I
just dig through what CCRMA does to the stock kernel.
