Bug#392483: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686: upgrade to 2.6.18 broke sound

[Shai Berger <shai@platonix.com>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686
Version: 2.6.18-2
Severity: normal

I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18 (by using
aptitude dist-upgrade). In retaliation, the new (and
old) kernel ceased identifying my sound card (cs 4281).

I only got sound back after running alsaconf manually.
