tell you what? That this wasn't an ALSA upstream bug? Maybe because it (wrongly) seemed just obvious to me: there is *no* alsa module that loads (as the dmesg and lsmod output show) with that kernel (no snd-* module would load, not even snd-dummy). Despite being known brainfart, I doubt that ALSA is that broken upstream :) I don't know how the Debian kernel is built from source, but it seems that some parisc-specific patch fux0red the alsa drivers, or something alike... > anyway 2.6.14 contains all the fixes of the previous -rc and will soon > land in unstable as soon as it gets released. > > anyway we aren't already in stabilization phase with backporting business. OK. I just wanted to let you know that 2.6.12 seems pretty unusable to me wrt ALSA stuff. > > this is what it looks like when it actually works: > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a > > Linux Esperanza 2.6.14-rc5-pa1 #13 SMP Fri Oct 21 14:27:21 CEST 2005 > > parisc64 GNU/Linux > > ok. > the -pa patch is still an out of tree pain, > but that should evolve hopefully.. It will. And for the records nothing in the -pa patch is needed to get that driver to work, i tested it on PPC. HTH -- Thibaut VARENE http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet/
