This problem has already been reported as a bug http://bugs.debian.org/284356 > I guess that I also need a new alsa-modules package with the new kernel, > however this is not on the server yet (waited a few days before complaining > here) The fault lies with the kernel-image package: its symbol version suffixes changed from one Debian revision to the next, which should not happen. (This breaks most modules compiled for that kernel image.) > I would like to try to install the previous kernel but have deleted > it while cleaning up the local package cache :-( > > Do you agree to this analysis? > If yes, can somebody point me to a previous 2.4 kernel package/ > Will the alsa-modules be upgraded too? Either alsa-modules* will be upgraded or new kernel-image-2.4.27 packages will be released that contains kernels with the old symbol version suffixes. In the meantime you can build your own alsa-modules package from the sources shipped in the alsa-source package using the make-kpkg utility (provided in the kernel-package package). -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
