Re: 2.5.7 make modules_install error (oss)

I really wish the OSS drivers would be fixed.  They worked perfectly with my
Crystal SoundFusion card, but the ALSA drivers are very unreliable with it.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.  (One day a couple of weeks ago I
rebooted about ten times, and the sound worked consistently *on alternate boots*
(that is, it didn't work after the first boot, worked on the second boot, didn't
work on the third, worked on the fourth, etc.).  The next day it worked on every
boot.  Since then it works sometimes, and sometimes doesn't, with no discernible
pattern.  Even when it's working, it works sporadically -- some sound effects in
Gnome work, others don't, then a few minutes later they all work again;
RealPlayer works OK until I open a new window, then the sound cuts out and won't
start again until I restart RealPlayer; and so forth.  The OSS drivers don't
give me any of these problems.

The OSS driver that you selected has not been converted to use the new pci API
I'm not sure if it will ever be updated though, since alsa is now part of 2.5
try to use the alsa drivers instead. If you read this
virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map carefully yo will see that it says
virt_to_bus not defined use pci_map nice way to get people to fix the old
drivers
;)
