Dear Debian PowerPC list: I have an early 2005 Powerbook G4 12". (I see people to this list make refernces to strange number-hyphenated models, but I do not know how to get this. If this would be useful, let me know how to find it.)
I have a very strange sound problem. Sound works fine in my custom 2.6.21 kernel. Sound also works fine in 2.6.22-3-powerpc kernel. However, if I take the tree generated from linux-source-2.6.22, copy my 2.6.21 configuration, and make oldconfig, /dev/dsp disappears. This is despite the fact that all the same snd-* modules are loaded at boot time. Since Debian's kernel worked, I also tried copying 2.6.22-powerpc's config, making a couple of minor changes[1], and compiling that, but that had the same mysterious disappearance of /dev/dsp. So, any idea what's wrong or how to fix it? I'd be happy to try things or provide additional infromation if that would be helpful. Thanks, [1] Minor changes: I turned off DRM and a few of the framebuffer drivers, since I use Nouveau primarily and it doesn't like the vanilla drm module. I didn't alter any of the sound driver configruation details. -- Itai Itai Seggev, Knox College, Mathematics Department In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
