midi and rebooting kernel

Hi,
I am trying to get MIDI functionality on the beagleboard. I followed
the directions here about booting the kernel:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Building_Kernel
and I moved the kernel over to the SD card, but my board still doesn't
recognize the new kernel as the important kernel, and I get this error
whenever I try to enable snd-seq: FATAL: Module snd-seq not found.

Is there a way to install ubuntu on the beagleboard with MIDI already
enabled? I've been grappling with kernel problems for 3 weeks. I've
installed the pre-packaged headless version, the netbook version, the
demo version, and Angstrom, and no matter what, every time I try to
put in the new kernel, I get the same error. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
David

I don’t know what you mean by “important kernel”. I guess you are struggling to boot a particular kernel? Have you installed all of the modules in the right place?

I don’t know how to do this explicitly with Ubuntu. If you were looking or Ubuntu specific support, rather than MIDI support, it probably would have been good to name your subject line that way. I expect you can apt-get the required kernel modules if they didn’t come in the installed image.

You can download a “next” version of Angstrom with a 2.6.39 kernel (or the “2011.03” version with a 2.6.32 kernel) for the BeagleBoard and “opkg update; opkg install kernel-module-snd-seq” to get that particular kernel module installed. I confirmed this by seeing that the kernel module is available for download at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=kernel-module-snd-seq. You’ll likely want to install some additional kernel modules, such as kernel-module-snd-seq-device, kernel-module-snd-seq-dummy, kernel-module-snd-seq-midi, kernel-module-snd-seq-midi-event, kernel-module-snd-seq-oss, and/or kernel-module-snd-seq-virmidi.

I forgot to mention that you’d download the Angstrom image from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus.

That should be easy, just copy the new kernel as "uImage" over the old
uImage in the boot partition....

whenever I try to enable snd-seq: FATAL: Module snd-seq not found.

did you copy the modules?

find . | grep seq
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq/oss
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.ko
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi-event.ko
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi.ko
./2.6.39.3-x3/kernel/crypto/seqiv.ko

what error?

paste a full boot log, remember that we are not able to look over
your shoulder....
