Bug#685885: libkmod2-udeb: Sound modules don't get autoloaded in d-i
Package: libkmod2-udeb
Version: 9-1
Severity: important
Hello,
In the latest daily build of d-i, sound modules are not autoloaded, thus
completely breaking software speech support and making it unusable by
visually impaired people without a braille device. I guess this is due
to the recent switch to kmod?
The way I test it is (with an i386 image):
kvm -cdrom mini.iso -soundhw ac97
and type
s <enter>
and the boot prompt. The beta1 images do get speech, the image from
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/i386/daily/netboot/gtk/mini.iso
does not due to sound modules not being autoloaded.
