I've just rebuilt my kernel to include USB support and now my sound card has stopped working. I've searched for the error message on the web but haven't come up with anything much.
I wasn't aware that I'd changed anything other than the USB settings (I used 'make menuconfig').
Was your previsous kernel a vendor supplied on (RPM or deb etc)? If so then you need to find the right .config file for it and use that as a starting point for your new build by copying it over the .config in your kernel sources. If you don't do this then the
configuration
you start with in menuconfig is not the same as the currently installed kernel so just changing some things won't work.
Sorry, should have said. This is a LFS system so all my kernel builds are home grown. I do a save to and restore from a specific .config for each build so I'm happy that I was amending a known baseline. ____________ CONSOLATION, n.
