found the problem Confused

edit # CONFIG_SND_SIS7019 is not set
to read

CONFIG_SND_SIS7019=m

I did it with geany but you could do it the official way
Joe

I had to build just the sound modules I hope this works

had to modify the makefile
if it works I'll document how

LD [M] sound/pci/snd-rme32.ko
CC sound/pci/snd-rme96.mod.o
LD [M] sound/pci/snd-rme96.ko
CC sound/pci/snd-sis7019.mod.o

LD [M] sound/pci/snd-sis7019.ko
CC sound/pci/snd-sonicvibes.mod.o
LD [M] sound/pci/snd-sonicvibes.ko
CC sound/pci/snd-via82xx-modem.mod.o
LD [M] sound/pci/snd-via82xx-modem.ko
CC sound/pci/snd-via82xx.mod.o
LD [M] sound/pci/snd-via82xx.ko

a long day hope it works
Updated 12/22/2009 to install in the correct place since it was tested to work

"interesting that the .config file is hidden in /proc/config.gz" -that's a configurable option to the kernel -which can be built as a module or built-in. It should always be thr first thing you trun on -and not as a module. That way you'll never have doubt about what the kernel is capable of -or lose a working configuration file .-)

Great news!

how to for the compile
not needed if you just want to use the driver just install the above driver

but if you wanted to know what was needed to compile it read on
*********************************************************

I updated the sis driver post since you tested the driver to be working

I used this guide http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.htmlwhich was modified from a how to compile one module its old but worked
mind you I didnt have that line of code #SUBDIRS with a comment so I added it where I thought it should be
and I compiled in the folder I didnt move the object

cp Makefile Makefile.my
then I cleaned the objects in the sound folder
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.7/sound/pci then rm *.o
SUBDIRS =sound/pci/ #add line number 69 in the Makefile.my for slxr
# Save the file Makefile.my

make -f Makefile.my modules

------------------------------------

snip from makefile.my

# Use make M=dir to specify directory of external module to build
# Old syntax make ... SUBDIRS=$PWD is still supported
# Setting the environment variable KBUILD_EXTMOD take precedence
SUBDIRS =sound/pci/ #add line number 69 in the Makefile.my for slxr
ifdef SUBDIRS
KBUILD_EXTMOD ?= $(SUBDIRS)
endif
ifdef M
ifeq ("$(origin M)", "command line")
KBUILD_EXTMOD := $(M)
endif
endif
--------------------------------------

to clean up the sources you could do it one at a time folder for folder or use this code

UPDATED 12-29-2009 lite version
src-kernel-slxr-2.6.27.7 Now 71MB 250 MB installed make sure you have the space first though

http://puppy2.org/slaxer/src-kernel-slxr-2.6.27.7-i486-2-slxr.tgz

you could add more but the idea was this to clean up the source
to get it down smaller I used this

Hi BB thanks for the kernel sources.
Was able to get VirtualBox up and running without any problems.
I hope to replace my Centos 4.6 running Parallels system, which I use to run a Windows based access control system, with Slaxer_Pup running VirtualBox.
Have been using Slaxer_Pup on my 'Panasonic CF-18 toughbook' since you released it and I am very happy with it.
I may even try to get the touchscreen up and running one day.
Your hard work is much appreciated.

Big_Bass I would like to give you a big thumbs up for slaxer_pup.
It has been very stable and very fast. I am having a problem with the usb icon loading on top of hda3 icon when I plug in a usb stick. I am not sure if this is the result of something that I done myself because I looked through the thread and did not see problem mentioned before. I have attached screen shot.....any suggestions?

Hey Cur Dog

I dont know the size of your screen but the idea is the same
and I couldnt read the small print of the usb value

you need to get the usb in the fourth icon location of the screen
lets say your usb is sda1 for an example

the y= is up and down on the far left of the screen
you dont need to edit that

the x= is the right to left position on the screen
thats what has to change

-------------------------------------------------------------------
so to fix it manually open the file

potchan

Hi Team, and a happy new year started with the awesome updater.

Last days I got enlightenment while started the Potchan build all over again with Slaxer-pup as onGround platform. It's much better than the latest version of Puppy because BK seems to cut some edges especially where I need it most: capability to boot any limpware on Earth smooooothly. Slaxer-pup is more reliable basis to my cloud project (enriched with extra technician's tools and emulators).

Few questions:

1. Should I drop /root/slaxer_updater folder after pet-install without any fear from a damage ? the folder is a bit heavy (8818K). Do all tar.gz'es left inside folder installed already or need further actions ?

2. How I can be directed for adding ext4 support ? I need the closest link in this forum (or elsewhere) and I go on by myself.

3. I have radeonmodule compiled for 2.26.25.16. Do you know of a proper adjustment for slaxer kernel ? I found out since Muppy it helps to sharp display on PCs with old radeon cards when VertRefresh set to 70 (1024x768x24).

4. 11g LevelOne wireless USB modem ? I'm unlucky finding a proper solution to this for my ancient DELL inspiron 2600 test-wreck 1MHz 122M RAM no USB BIOS support (functions as project bottom raf).

Thanks in advance Razz

Thanks Big_Bass, worked like a charm.
I still have a lot to learn when it comes to things like this in puppy.
Sorry if I scaled the screenshot to small, but I didn't want to leave it at 1024x768. I will do better next time....Thanks for your time and again, thanks for Slaxer_Pup.
