X-Fi drivers installation problem

[The_Source_HIM]

Hello, I have a problem installing X-Fi drivers from Creative - configure script seems to be broken. Has anyone encountered such problem? Can anyone please provide good script or instructions how to fix it?

The driver has to be patched because the Creative team did a poor job at making the driver. But the patch doesn't help. I still get:

Does not work for me either:

i thought the final drivers for the X-Fi card was supposed to be in a 2.6.xx kernel? i have an x-fi to so im using onboard sound

[The_Source_HIM]

No, unfortunately it is not included into kernel package. And it looks like Creative abandoned this project. Hopefully they'll deliver specs to alsa.

hopefully or i'll never buy another Creative card, though i did read i think ALSA 1.0.15 was suposed to be the last an then they would move onto 2.0.0 ? which im not sure if the x-fi support was to be in that

[The_Source_HIM]

I was able to compile driver by adding some includes into problem file. But modules do not work. insmod says "-1 unknown symbol in module"

[Demz]

hopefully it gets worked out or Creeative will be getting some Nasty letters

Here's dmesg|tail output for emupia module:
emupia: Unknown symbol stack_free_page
emupia: Unknown symbol stack_alloc
emupia: Unknown symbol get_ossrv
emupia: Unknown symbol unload_all_plugins
emupia: Unknown symbol stack_alloc_page
emupia: Unknown symbol ioctl_dispatch
emupia: Unknown symbol heap_free
emupia: Unknown symbol register_sound_special
emupia: Unknown symbol InterlockedDecrement
emupia: Unknown symbol stack_free

I think that's incompatibility with new kernel.

maybe the 2.6.24 kernel might be usefull,
