Fedora Sound on Tecra 8000

[Charles Curley]

I did a completely new installation of Fedora Core 1 on my Toshiba
Tecra 8000. I copied my working sound portion of my modules.conf from
my Red Hat 8.0 installation. The sound portion of the new modules.conf
looks like so:


# sound stuff. Copied from old config.
options sound dmabuf=1

alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2
# pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options opl3sa2 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpu_io=0x330 # io=0x538



All those modules appear to insert themselves correctly at boot time.

Permissions and ownership appear to be set up correctly:

[root at teckla root]# ll /dev/mixer
crw-------    1 ccurley  root      14,   0 Sep 15 07:40 /dev/mixer

where "ccurley" is the user tring to run the mixer.

I get error messages regarding inability to open /dev/mixer, and that
the Gnome Volume Control was compiled with OSS 3.8.2, and my system is
running 143.115.134. Since not even Emacs is up to that high a version
number, I expect that's a bogus value. The error message I see in
/var/log/messages is: "Can't locate module sound-service-0-0".

redhat-config-soundcard announces that it can't find any soundcards.

Also, on boot I see a lot of "Can't locate module char-major*"
messages that scroll by quickly and which do not get captured by
/var/log/lessages or dmesg. Based on a quick check of
linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/Documentation/devices.txt, I don't think any
of them are the missing mixer.
