Pietro: many thanks for offering your help, I'll keep you informed about my proceeding!
Udo: Unfortunately this time I was too much "optimistic" as: 1. I have no idea about X anymore, Y is 27. 2. I have no precise idea of what changed exactly (ehm...) : I simply updated on Mon Jun 7. 3. I got rid of all built sources of patched alsa that made the system originally work. Now about your remarks: 0. I untarred and recompiled alsa from scratch (from a cleaned directory) 1. Do I need to specify -with-kernel? Would'n the currently kernel headers be used? 2. Do you confirm that I need to recompile alsa drivers every time kernel changes? The problem is that even if I am pretty confident with compiling and installing software, I am a newby about kernel modules. In this case debugging is very hard to perform as kernel panic occurs without a single line dumped into /var/log or console. I am thinking of re-installing from scratch, but this should be really the very last option... The real question maybe would be: what this behavior could be due to? Could it be useful to load the module with single_cmd option? thanks roberto -- no sound with lenovo 3000 n100 0768FEG https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107821 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
