Re: Sound on Dell 4600c under RH9

Did the alsa source RPM's really rebuild correctly?  "depmod -ae" gave me
unresolved symbols for  snd.o.

The workaround was to rename /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9/include/linux/workqueue.h
to workqueue.h_orig.  Then then the alsa RPM's built correctly.  There appears
to be some 2.5.x kernel stuff backported into 2.4.20 that causes build problems.

Hope this helps    - Bob Arendt
