Hi,
I switched to unstable (from testing) a week ago, and since then, I can't get
ALSA working for my ICE1712 chip.
This is what I did:
- I downloaded alsa-source, to build a kernel module. (using make-kpkg
modules_image)
- I installed alsa-base and alsa-utils
This is what I get when I try to install the generated alsa_modules-2.4.20...
deb file:
Wrote ALSA configuration to /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
/var/lib/dpkg/info/alsa-base.postinst: line 103: 873 Segmentation fault

Under testing, everything worked fine, but I don't know which package
(kernel-source? alsa-source? alsa-base?) is causing these problems.
Another problem: it's very difficult to remove the alsa-packages using dpkg
--purge.
The script /etc/init.d/alsa *always* gives a non-0 return value, so I have to
`echo "exit 0" > /etc/init.d/alsa` before I'm able to remove the alsa
packages.
Does anyone know how I can get alsa running under unstable?
Thanks in advance,
Stanley.
PS: this is the first message I sent to a mailing-list ever, I hope nothing
goes wrong
PS2: After 40 minutes, my message didn't appear to the list. So I resent it.
My apoligizes if you receive this mail twice.
