ALSA sound drivers and Red Hat 7-anyone done this?

[Louie1961]

I have installed Red Hat 7 in a dual boot installation with win 98 SE. Running a PIII 733 Coppermine, on an Asus p3v4x, and a Asus Geforce 2 MX video card and a generic yamaha YMF724 PCI audio card. Everything works fine in Windows.

I cannot get the yamaha sound card to work in Red Hat. Sndconfig reports it as an unsupported card. So I downloaded the ALSA drivers which do support it.

I went through all the usual stuff without any problems, until it came time to install the driver with "modprobe"

To be specific, I followed the install intructions to the letter. Unzipped and untarred the driver files to their own directory residing in /home. Performed the "./configure" command, with no errors, then did the "make" and "make install" also without error. Performed "./snddevices" and see that a bunch of device drivers were created in the /dev directory, so I assume this worked as well. The glitch is when I get to the step of using modprobe, the system reports "unable to find driver named ymfpci"

At this point I am stuck. I made the appropriate changes to modules.conf, and still no luck. tells me driver not found.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here??

Thanks.

Thanks, but I tried that, without luck. I even wrote the article's author, and he said he couldn't help. I think my problem is in the "make install" command/operation. When the system begins to compile it tries to set up some symbolic links to the isapnp.h file and I get several error messages to the effect of "operation not allowed, ERROR 1", "operation not allowed. ERROR 2"

I think it is not compiling correctly for reasons I can't understand. When I get to the end of the installation, and try to perform the modprobe command, it tells me driver not found.

Does anyone have any experience/insight into this type of thing? I would appreciate any help.
