Kernel questions regarding Fedora Core 1’s up2date

Asked By josephparera 30 points N/A Posted on - 07/29/2011

Hello,

as we all know in Red Hat Fedora there is up to date icon and we can check for updates

what about kernel updates?

i know it installs the new kernel so that u can choose from the grub with kernel to choose

i tried this up to date and installed the latest kernel

but when i boot into the new kernel the sound doesn't work

when i click on the volume icon, mesagge appears that there is no sound device etc.

and when i click on the details of the errors it says .. check if the kernel has sound support …

can anyone tell me the exact steps to enable sound support in the kernel updates i get?

Thanks,

Kernel questions regarding Fedora Core 1’s up2date

A viable solution to the problem would be to locate the sound card and rearrange it. Make sure to type in the command “sndconfig”, it could be a different type of variation but it should be in that form. Therefore if sound was already configured than one should have it currently as well. One can also use the programs APT or Synaptic which are ultimately far more efficient and superior than Up2date. You could also take the source of the kernel from the website kernel.org and make it up yourself which would ultimately lead to a new kernel which is configured in a custom manner.
