Yes, its like you said Rene, sb8 works although the sound is distorted and the module can't be removed... Later I can modprobe sgalaxy too, and the sound works without a hitch.

Okay, don't know what the trouble is with that distortion (if you haven't set the volumes to 100, that is) but not too important right now.

Also since now I can compile some code - your "eeprom.c" compiles and works - I'm available for further testing...

I might want you to test some mode-resetting code later; will be sure to ask if needed.

I also noticed that the binary you sent was 506kb while my compilation is 9kb, maybe you sent an early/later version with some additional includes for verbose ? I compiled it with "gcc -W -Wall -o eeprom eeprom.c" like you said (on my xubuntu 7.04 with build-essentials deb package installed).

Now try it with "gcc -static -W -Wall -o eeprom eeprom.c". I compiled the binary I provided with that "-static" flag which means the program includes all library code directly inside the binary and doesn't link to the library code you already have on your system.

I did this to avoid any version problems that may exist between different distributions. Essentially you're only guaranteed that a dynamic executable will work on the system on which it was compiled (rather, on a system with the same versions of the libraries installed as on the system on which it was compiled). In this case the program only links to the system C library and did nothing weird so it wasn't much of an issue, but I don't even want to deal with any _possible_ problems of that nature...

Yes, with a normal (ie, dynamic) link that 9k is correct.
