    bad sound driver installation

    I'm trying to install drivers for my aureal vortex2 sound card. When i do a "make install" i get this error:

    mv -f /etc/modules.conf /etc/modules.conf.old
    gawk -f mod_conf /etc/modules.conf.old > /etc/modules.conf
    echo "alias sound au8830" >> /etc/modules.conf
    echo "alias midi au8830" >> /etc/modules.conf
    mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc
    cp -f au8830.o /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc
    /sbin/depmod -a
    /sbin/rmmod au8830
    rmmod: module au8830 is not loaded
    make: [install] Error 1 (ignored)
    /sbin/modprobe au8830
    /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc/au8830.o: kernel-module version mismatch
    /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc/au8830.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.0
    while this kernel is version 2.4.0-4GB.
    /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc/au8830.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc/au8830.o failed
    /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/misc/au8830.o: insmod au8830 failed
    make: [install] Error 255 (ignored)

    It seems that it doesnt like my kernel name. I am running SuSE 7.1. What should i do? Thanks in advance.

    Link here:

    i've not played with my box for months but you need to modify the "INSTALL" file

    Here what i have saved from my last successfull experience.
    Well after fighting with the aureal 1.1.2 drivers for way too long I finally caught the reason why it was giving me the Unresolved Symbol errors that everybody seems to be encountering.
    in aureal/Makefile, the line

    INCLUDEDIRS = -I/usr/src/linux/include

    points to the sources for the 2.2 kernel that was installed by my Mandrake 7.2 installation. (RH puts it in the same place, in any case, if it isn't pointing to your 2.4.0 sources, it's wrong.)

    The path should point to the directory where you untarred the 2.4.0 sources, e.g. /home/yourhome/linux/include
