Bug#326959: instalation problem/bug
this has worked
Installation as expert (expert26) as usual. But you need to take care
of two sound driver modules that will screw your system up. If you let
hotplug auto-load the OSS driver for i810 cards, the kernel oopses
(null pointer dereference). Before leaving the installation system,
one should bring up a shell and say:
rm /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/sound/oss/i810_audio.ko
The second trap is ALSA's snd-intel8x0m driver, which is somewhat
broken. If hotplug loads it, you won't hear any sound because it keeps
sitting on a semaphore. So get rid of it for the moment:
rm /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0m.ko
