Once again I need help I get this error now

After doing the second line you told me after cd .....

I do it in root
I don't think it works if you add the .o to the end of the file
( insmod uart401 ) not ( insmod uart401.o )

I just tried it again with 0.7 DSL on my IBM 770 thinkpad. From
scratch on a live bootup..  Works great !

Again, exit out of xserver by ctrl-alt-backspace....  run startx...
use your menu to load the Full Enhanced Desktop, and you should
see your wmix mixer on the bottom of your slit

I used and still use

cd /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound <enter>
insmod uart401 <enter>

insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5" <enter>


And still nothing does it work with thinkpad 770z?
OK...   Did some further checking...
The 770z uses a different card than the 770
the 770z is a crystal srs 3d
the 770 is a crystal 4232

Here is a post I found thru an IBM search from IBM.com on 770z and linux.

To add SoundBlaster functionality, you need to insert the module for sb. The line should read something like: insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma_16=5, or whatever your paramaters are. To have this insert automatically, you need an file called sb in /etc/modules/options. These same arguments (The stuff after insmod sb) go into the file, which will get read while the system reads the rc.modules file during boot up.

I would try typing the modprobe command or insmod manually
first before editing your /etc/modutils or /etc/modules.

Hope it helps...  I don't know if you need to run the
uart for midi or not....
