vt82c686

[Agent Purple]

when doing a make when installing the alsa drivers for the VT82C686, what does "[compile] error "sound.o"" mean? does it mean that my sound.o is corrupted? or ist normal? when i finish the alsa install, i get sound, but it's very jerky, not smooth. how do you fix this? and how do you install the linux drivers for VT82686 on a RedHat box? I've searched via's site, and there's no docs on how to install. just the drivers.

I believe sound.o is created by OSS in the kernel configuration.

Check in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/sound (or a similiar directory) to see if sound.o exists.

If it doesn't, then you may need to recompile the kernel and add OSS support.
