Sound Blaster Live Value on Red Hat Linux 6.0
I just downloaded Sound Blaster live driver form Creative, but it says it just support
kernel 2.2.5. the problem is now my Linux gernel is 2.2.5-15 which comes with RedHat 6.0,
I can't set sound blaster live up in this kernel, it reports a wrong kernel. what can I do
now? how to solve this problem?
The way I fixed this was to use GHex (in Gnome) to alter the file sblive.o. In GHex, I
searched for all ASCII instances of "2.2.5" (of which there was only one) and
then altered the hex code to reflect "2.2.5-15."
The code for 2.2.5 looks like this ---> 32 2E 32 2E 35 00 00 00 (the "00's"
reflect empty spaces)
The code for 2.2.5-15 looks like this --> 32 2E 32 2E 35 2D 31 35 (the "00's"
are changed)
The ASCII screen should now show "2.2.5-15" instead of "2.2.5"
This worked for me and now the module loads at bootup without any problems.
