depmod - Warnings after installing ALSA

**netromancer** · 08-09-2003, 04:22 PM

Since I've installed ALSA I get these warnings at startup:

depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/build
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/kernel
depmod: /lib/modules/extra/modules.dep is not an ELF file
depmod: /lib/modules/extra/modules.generic_string is not an ELF file
depmod: /lib/modules/extra/modules.ieee1394map is not an ELF file
depmod: /lib/modules/extra/modules.isapnpmap is not an ELF file
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/modules.parportmap
depmod: /lib/modules/extra/modules.pcimap is not an ELF file
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/modules.pnpbiosmap
depmod: /lib/modules/extra/modules.usbmap is not an ELF file
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/net
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/pcmcia
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/extra/usb

What's that and what's my fault?

Another question: Basically, the Soundsystem works perfectly, but I have no sound in Windows-Applications running via wine. What can I do?

How did you install it? ALSA comes with 3.2. All you have to do (as root) is

/etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig

and that's it!

I installed Knoppix with ALSA support exactly like it's shown here, in the last posting and of course I've run alsa-autoconfig. Nevertheless there are these warnings, and I've no idea why.

I'm still puzzled as to why all that should be necessary, but when I built my alsa drivers from source (this was back with Knoppix 3.1, no ALSA with that build

) I found --- and it took some finding -- some very good documentation for my driver.

http://www.alsa-project.org/documentation.php3

is a good place to start.

They happened to me every time I updated the modules in Knoppix I just ignore them everything seemed to work fine. My guess is that they are left over from Klaus building the image.

Ok, so apparently it's not my fault. I will have a look at the documentation anyway, perhaps it helps.
BTW, I still have no sound with wine, any idea why?
