Hi, I just got bitten by this alsa-base bug on a sarge system, after spending about 3 hours digging throug /etc folder :( (My friend's laptop has both - 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and most of the time he uses 2.4 because suspend doesn't work on 2.6 :( )

(Closes: #287499, #290663) [..] Thanks for removing these evil aliases - they couse only hard to find problems on systems with 2.4 kernels :( In future make at least a debconf prompt for changes like this, because now after upgrade my friend got system with not working sound (sound modules were specified in /etc/modules ) and it was very hard to find why modprobe i810_audio doesn't work :( The best solution in this case would be runtime autodetecting if alsa modules for booting kernel exit and disable oss modules only in such a case. -- Good luck, Mantas KriauÄiÅnas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public organization "Open Source for Lithuania" - www.akl.lt
