reopen 408746 found 408746 2.6.25-4 thanks While I didn't have any problem with linux-image-2.6.25-2-powerpc 2.6.25-3 (at the same time, udev was installed due to dependencies, because I had to replace the buggy yaird by initramfs-tools) just after installing it and rebooting on it, the problem reappeared since, though I didn't change anything in the config of the machine. However /dev/mixer disappeared for an unknown reason (see below).
