Hi there, I run Mandrake Linux 8.2 and I have an onboard soundcard from SiS. Mandrake didn't autodetected the card during installation, so now I have to manually install it. I found a driver with instruction text placed below. I'm a newbe so I'm not familiar with all this. The first problem I encountered is I don have a kernel-source in /usr/src/x.x.x. I don really know how this works. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks, Sander ------- SiS 7012 Linux Driver Install Documentation **Before install this driver, you should make sure that your kernel had enable "sound card support" ! (the option of "sound" item in building kernel) This driver is for kernel RedHat kernel 2.4.x. You can install this driver by useing script "install" or follow steps descributed below: Note : if there are soundcore.o and ac97_codec.o in your kernel, you can skip step 3,4,6 (you can use command "insmod soundcore" and "insmod ac97_codec" to test if there are these two modules) 1> Check that you have kernel-source in /usr/src/x.x.x 2> Change linux_src_directory to correct path in "config.in" 3> Copy soundcore and ac97_codec source to current directory "make snd_install" or : "cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/sound_core.* ./" "cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/sound_firmware.* ./" "cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/os.h ./" "cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/ac97_codec.* ./" 4> Generate soundcore and ac97_codec module "make soundcore.o" "make ac97_codec.o" 5> Generate sis7012 driver module "make" 6> Copy soundcore.o , ac97_codec.o to module directory "cp soundcore.o /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound "cp ac97_codec.o /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound 7> Copy sis7012.o to module directory "cp sis7012.o /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound 8> Modify the file "/etc/modules.conf". Add two lines into it : alias sound-slot-0 sis7012 9> Reboot your computer and configurate sis7012.

The kernel source in mdk 8-2 is usually the package kernel-source-2.4.18-6mdk.i586.rpm If you dont have that go to download it http://www.planetmirror.com/pub/mandrake/8.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-6mdk.i586.rpm Suppose you save it onto your home directory; you install it. Start a terminal then su (root password) rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.18-6mdk.i586.rpm Best luck
