Hello,
I have an ibook2.2, which is running sarge with kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
(2.6.8-3) and devfsd now.
processor : 0
cpu : 750FX
temperature : 19-21 C (uncalibrated)
clock : 800MHz

bogomips : 1585.15
machine : PowerBook4,3
motherboard : PowerBook4,3 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh
detected as : 257 (iBook 2 rev. 2)
pmac flags : 0000000b
L2 cache : 512K unified

matrix:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.8-powerpc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian
1:3.3.4-9)) #1 Fri Aug 27 18:02:26 CEST 2004
My problems are no sound (no errors, xmms plays without problems, but there
_is_ no sound) and not being able to burn cd (process hangs)
With woody (and adrian bunks backported packages for kernel 2.6 on woody
(rebuildt for powerpc)) and kernel-2.6.7-powerpc (deb from sarge) I had sound
without problems. but using that kernel-package on sarge doesnt give me
sound.
should I use ALSA or OSS on this machine with kernel 2.6 ?
I have "hdb=ide-scsi devfs=mount" on my kernel-commandline (yaboot.conf), the
user trying to use sound is in the group "audio" and the following modules
in /etc/modules: "auto usbkbd usb-uhci keybdev mousedev hid sungem
dmasound_pmac hfs agpgart uninorth-agp radeon ide-scsi ide-cd sr_mod sg
usb-storage ehci-hcd hci_usb ohci-hcd usbhid aes cryptoloop"
Should I use ALSA (with these two modules. snd-powermac, snd-pcm-oss)
instead ?

xmms plays my music without error, but I cannot hear anything :(
Last, should I file a bug ?
any help & hints are very much appreciated.
regards,
Holger
p.s.: this system is installed with fai (packages.debian.org/fai), so every
debconf-question was answered with the default values.
