alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3 won't compile with kernel 2.6.20.3 when Processor family is Core2

[Chris Pemberton]

Laptop has Pentium Dual Core and Intel HD Audio
Kernel is 2.6.20.3 compiled for Processor family Core2.
In-kernel alsa drivers are 1.0.14rc3 (cat /proc/asound/version) and 
compile ok.
In-kernel drivers do not work for this sound card.

Downloaded 1.0.14rc3 and applied patch_realtek.c
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-cards=hda-intel
"make" gives the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'
> /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3/Makefile:491: 
> /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3/arch//Makefile: No such file or directory


If the kernel is compiled with Processor family = Pentium M, the 
external alsa drivers compile clean and the soundcard works.

So, Processor family = Core2 cannot be selected when using external 
alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.

This should have been fixed on 1.0.14rc4.  Give it a try.

Does 1.0.14rc4 contain the patch_realtek.c?  Or will I have to apply the 
patch there too?

It has since a few years ago.  I don't know which patch you're
referring, but most of patches have been already merged in 1.0.14rc4.

I was referring to this patch (version6)

I am recompiling kernel for core2 and will let you know if 1.0.14rc4 works

I recompiled my 2.6.20.3 kernel for core2, and tried alsa 1.0.14rc4 as 
you suggested:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'
  CC [M]  /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/acore/memalloc.o
In file included from /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/acore/memalloc.inc:13,

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'
make: *** [compile] Error 2

Then I tried again it with the patch_realtek.c patch copied in 1.0.14rc4 
and got the exact same error.

I've tried when newer kernels as well: no good with core2 in kernel.
