Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge2
Severity: normal
I had a problem to use ALi M5451 ALSA driver with my system. My system
has an M5451 rev 01 chip and the supplied driver did not activate AC97
mixer when installed.
With many tries and errors, I happened to make a patch that works for
me. However, I do not have any official reference documentation, I
cannot confirm that the patch is correct. Can anybody confirm the
correctness, please?

The 2.6.8 kernel is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report. Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny.
If this issue is still present, let me know.
Thanks.
