okay... so that sounds like a bit of a coctail huh? ;-)

im trying to get sound going on my thinkpad 600E...
from what i've read, the most reliable way is to use ALSA, configured for the Crystal Semiconductors cs4231, cs4232, and cs4236 chips. the thinkpad is actually a cs4239 but is supported by cs4236.

so i've downloaded kernel 2.5.9, because the idea of ALSA *in* the kernel sounded too yummy to be true :-) - and also the simplest way to do things...

hmm.

3 days later after working out all sorts of module incompatibilities that i'd set up....

i've got the kernel installed, modules okay, ALSA is all compiled in the kernel, havent set any OSS modules up because i'm using OSS/Free emulation...
got /etc/modules.conf set up correctly (see appendage at end of message)...
and....

naaaathing.

error messages like this:

[root_AT_hamish linux]# modprobe snd-card-cs4236
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-cs4236

and this:
[root_AT_hamish linux]# modprobe snd-card-cs4236
/lib/modules/2.5.9/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.o: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk_Re1189d7c
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.5.9/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.o failed
modprobe: insmod snd-cs4236 failed

trying something a bit more lateral thinking like
[root_AT_hamish linux]# insmod snd-card-cs4236 snd_port=0x530 snd_cport=0x538

produces an even longer stream of similiar gibberish complaining of unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.5.9/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.o

and from /var/log/messages, a load of stuff spewed out (below)..

anyone with any ideas / experience of using a thinkpad 600E i would be very grateful :-)
thx heaps
