Hey all,

I've been fooling around with this for a while now...

Ok, on my mobo (K7T Pro 2-A ATX VA) I've got a built-in "sound card" ( :rolleyes: ) but it is supposed to be usuable in Linux... so I went to the manufacturer's website, downloaded the driver and tried that out... didn't work (corupt zip maybe?), so I kept searching for another... then I realized that its probably on the CD that came with the bloody thing... so I pop it in, sure enough... they made the CD in a 8.3 file format :rolleyes: but the thing still untarred and everything... so I go to install it... I run ./vinstall and it comes back with a message:


wrong kernel version ,should not install 68audio


I open up the vinstall file with vi and it needs kernel version 2.2.5 ! I'm running 2.2.17-21mdk, so recompiling the kernel just for this really isn't an option... my question is, should I edit the install file so that it installs anyway? I did a search for the driver with my kernel number (2.2.17, not the mdk part) and that brings up nothing... is there a one stop spot that would have this type of thing?

Thanks for the help,
Bill

Would you happen to have an AC97 card? That's what I have and I'm having so much trouble getting that buddy to work. If you do and you get it working, tell me how.
