Hi people! I've just compiled Linux 2.6.5 over my Slack 9.1 and everything
seems to be fine :-)
I've compiled ALSA in the kernel with usb-audio support, and I've
specified to use even the midi support in the usb devices. I have a Yamaha
ux256 usb-midi card and now I receive the following kernel message
everytime I boot or turn the midi card on:

Ok...it seems my system has recognize the Yammy, but I don't know to
access it. It seems from the log it's using /dev/midi00 but I can't use it
even if root...it's not a valid device, and the card is 6 ports, not just
one!
Have you ideas ?
Thanks!

I had a similar problem - I don't remember if the errors were the same,
but the same thing happened - the modules were loaded, etc - I fixed it by
updating to the alsa packages from slackware-current (alsa-lib, alsa-oss,
alsa-utils, and alsa-driver, even though the last probably wasn't
necessary)
