Package: hw-detect
Severity: normal

I recently installed Debian lenny on my ibook G4 (powerpc). Please
refer installation report in bug #525902.
After the installation was complete and I booted into Debian, I found
out that sound was not working.
The problem is that snd-powermac module is not loaded by default
because it is not in /etc/modules.
So either the sound card detection has failed or due to some other
reason the module is not listed in that file.

Manually loading module (modprobe) makes sound work.

Closing the original bug report. It should indeed have been closed
with the upload of hw-detect 1.85, but the "Closes" line in
debian/changelog was split on two lines and thus the bug remained opened.

I think that other issues you reported belong to other bug
reports. Please report them separately, probably not against D-I
components as they don't seem to happen during the installation process.
