    alsa afther knx-hdinstall

    If your sound card works with alsa
    you can add the line
    /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig
    in the boot script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    And alsa ver will be actived at eaxh boot.

    Also i suggest to add in the KNOPPIX/usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall some lines like the folling:

    # add alsa activation to bootmisc.sh
    # In the boot script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh if you add line
    # /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig
    # Alsa server start at boot and it ok for my kde.
    # In the KNOPPIX/usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall of my personalized KNOPPIX I have add some line like:

    if checkbootparam alsa >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    ALSA_CARD="$(getbootparam 'alsa' 2>/dev/null)"
    [ -n "$ALSA_CARD" ] || ALSA_CARD="autodetect"
    else
    ALSA_CARD="autodetect"
    fi

    noalsa=""
    checkbootparam noalsa && noalsa='#'
    checkbootparam noaudio && noalsa='#'
    checkbootparam nosound && noalsa='#'
    checkbootparam NOALSA && noalsa='#'
    checkbootparam NOAUDIO && noalsa='#'
    checkbootparam NOSOUND && noalsa='#'

    echo "# Boot parameter for knx-hdinstall add">>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "# "$CMDLINE >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "# KNOPPIX/usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall add " >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "# 2 lignes to start sound server alsa" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "# uncomment to start alsa at boot" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo $noalsa"ALSA_CARD="$ALSA_CARD >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo $noalsa"/etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

    # So the script knx-hdinstall add /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig
    # at the boot script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh.
    # May be a futur version of knx-hdinstall can
    # transmit.some parameters to alsa and
    # set USE_ALSA="" if alsa are detected unsafe.
    # Also this option can be offer like for the CUPS server./

    Thats a nice idea, but it is the wrong fix.

    You just have to run alsa-autoconfig ONCE after an hd-install. (So you could detect it as well and then chroot to it, and do it once.)

    Another possibillity is to cp /etc/modutils/1alsa /etc/modutils/alsa-knx-0.9 or similar to /mnt/target/etc/modutils +

    cp /etc/modules.conf /mnt/target/etc/

    Though you have to add in both choices to bootmisc.sh:

    aumix -w 60 -v 60

    I have test knx-hdinstall wth the folling uncommented line instead of the line of my late post
    on alsa after knx-hdinstall.:

    noalsa=""
    checkbootparam noalsa && noalsa='# '
    checkbootparam noaudio && noalsa='# '
    checkbootparam nosound && noalsa='# '

    echo "# 2 lignes to start sound server alsa" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "# uncomment to start alsa at boot" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo $noalsa"aumix -w 60 -v 60" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

    # use Knoppix-generated modutils/1alsa and alsa-0.9-knoppix
    cp -af /etc/modutils/1alsa $TR/etc/modutils/1alsa
    cp -af /etc/modutils/alsa-0.9-knoppix $TR/etc/modutils/alsa-0.9-knoppix

    I was inspired of the folling lignes in knx-hdinstal:

    # use Knoppix-generated XF86Config
    cp -af /etc/X11/XF86Config $TR/etc/X11/XF86Config
    cp -af /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 $TR/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

    1alsa and alsa-0.9-knoppix are copied in /etc/modutils/ of the target partition

    and "aumix -w 60 -v 60" ais added to bootmis.sh

    But sound card not work on reboot on target partition!
    So i need more explanation froim fabianx

    if checkbootparam alsa
    then
    echo "# line to unmute the mixer (eso. needed for alsa)" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "aumix -w 60 -v 60" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    # use Knoppix-generated modutils/1alsa and alsa-0.9-knoppix

    cp -af /etc/modutils/alsa-0.9-knoppix $TR/etc/modutils/alsa-0.9-knoppix
    chroot $TR depmod -a
    fi

    That should work, or try:

    if checkbootparam alsa
    then
    echo "# line to unmute the mixer (eso. needed for alsa)" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    echo "aumix -w 60 -v 60" >>$TR/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
    chroot $TR /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig
    fi

    Presumably, the purpose of using Knoppix as a Linux hard disk installer is to cut through the installation clutter/delay/problems that so many distros seem to have.

    The "correct fix" is to take a snapshot of the Knoppix environment as tweaked by a user after detection of hardware and other boot up issues from the live-on-cd execution and then use those exact settings within a on-the-fly, modified knx-hdinstall script.

    You might think it's the "wrong fix", but then again, your frame of reference might be off. After all, a battleship can't intimidate a lighthouse into moving out of its path.
