小弟第一次编译内核。下载了2。4。18的内核编译，重启发现启动过程中显示许多模块找不到，是什么原因？是不是模块是要另外下载的啊？

Dragonfly

no, linux kernel modules are contained in linux kernel source code already. are u choose them in u 2.4.18 code as 'M' and run make modules modules_install without errors?

thought

yes ,i'm sure there is no errors during make modules&make modules_install.
by the way,i can't find ac97 sound modules while make menuconfig,why?

Dragonfly

for linux sound support, people prefer to use alsa instead of the modules in the kernel code. u can try to check http://www.alsa-project.org/ to see if u can install that.

if i am not wrong, ac97 is a sound standard, not a sound chip, u should know which chip u use. basically, u can boot with u old kernel again and use lsmod to see which module it loads. then u know which module u need have.

thought

just ac97.o,i compiled it by hand use a @#$@#$%!@ way :-) ,and now it can work.but i don't know which module i should choose to enable kernel make ac97.o itself :-(

Dragonfly

u can check the linux/drivers/sound/Makefile. It include ac97.o in some places, for example, the "NM256AV/NM256ZX audio support". but i still think u should choose a sound chip u use. that is much better.
