Subject: Bug#526872: alsa-utils: please arange to have snd-powerpc
module loaded at boot time on PowerMac G4 machines...
Reply-To: Rick Thomas <rbthomas@greybox.rcthomas.org>, 526872@bugs.debian.org
Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.20-1
Severity: normal
Fresh-out-of-the-box install of Sid on a PowerMac G4 has no sound
and /etc/init.d/alsa-utils gives a flood of error messages.
The fix is to put "snd-powermac" into /etc/modules so that module
is loaded at boot time. That gives sound and also fixes the
error messages.
For some reason, the snd-powermac module isn't recognized by whatever
software is supposed to handle such things as being necessary on the
G4 PowerMac machines.
I don't know enough about how this works to direct it to the correct
package to get it fixed. Is this done in the installer?
