Sound module missing after upgrading kernel

[parun]

Hi,

When I upgraded from kernel 2.2.12-20 to 2.2.17 on redhat 6.1 I lost my sound module for some reason I completed:

make module
make module_install

But still upon reboot it states that it cannot find my sound module I have made the changes in 'make xconfig' before the above syntax as well.

Any suggestions I cannot study Perl without listing to music!!

Is that a typo in your post? It should be `make modules && make modules_install`.

Anyway, can you see the sound module in /lib/modules/2.2.17/sound? Have you tried to insert it manually (`modprobe your_sound_module`)? It might also be that your sound module is named differently in the kernel that came with RH 6.1. If you can't get the sound module to work, you can try to compile sound support into the kernel.
