Bug#931507: kernel-wedge: HDA sound board detection takes 60s in d-i
Package: kernel-wedge
Version: 2.99
Severity: serious
Tags: a11y
Justification: prevents blind people from using d-i
We have had (late, unfortunately) reports that HDA-based audio hardware
does not get detected. Actually it does, but only after 60s of delay,
which is way too long for the espeakup script.
What happens is in snd_hdac_i915_init, which tries to load the i915
module, which is not included in d-i, and waits for 60s to get it loaded
and bound to it. The delay was "only" 10s in 4.19.12, but apparently
increased to 60s in 4.19.37.
So I guess we should just ship the i915 module in d-i, either manually
in the existing sound-modules*-di package, or in a separate package and
make sound-modules*-di depend on it. It's a big 3M module, but it would
be shipped only in the gtk images anyway.
It'd definitely be so much useful to have this change uploaded in time
for 10.1.
