Bug#380082: shouldn't always use snd-powermac
Package: hw-detect X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dennis de Vaal reports that on an iMac G5 The snd-powermac module causes the system to completey lockup/freeze. Also, snd-powermac is being deprecated for anything that has a i2s-X/sound/layout-id. The iMac G5 should have that, and that means snd-aoa will automatically load. snd-aoa will only be included in 2.6.18, but is capable of automatically loading without /etc/modules interaction. The right fix here is tough. If we could rely on 2.6.18, then it'd be trivial to check if there's a layout-id property below the sound node and if so not use snd-powermac (snd-aoa will come up automatically). But since we can't do that, it's hard. snd-powermac causes system hangs on that iMac G5, a bug that is implicitly fixed by making snd-powermac refuse loading on such machines in 2.6.18 (since snd-aoa handles it I patched snd-powermac to not initialise there anyway). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

What does this have to do with hw-detect? It doesn't load sound drivers; there are no sound drivers in d-i. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
