Bug#514260: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: kernel does not support multiple, not similarm soundcards



Hi

"all kernels since then" : all kernels released under Lenny. I have not tried newer kernels from outside of the Lenny repos. I am a bit reluctant to do so as it usually requires other packages such as udev and libc to be upgraded too and therefor can have a serious impact on the stability of a system. If it would be just the recompilation of the Vmware-server2-wrapper I am running it would be fine. But I am not looking for a cascade of dependencies. Could you please comment on this?

Thanks in advance,
Olaf

What do you mean by "all kernels since then"? The Lenny kernels or did you
already try later versions?

The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
on 2.6.32. Please test the current 2.6.32 from unstable and tell
us whether the problem persists.

The 2.6.32 kernel is available from packages.debian.org and can
be installed in both Debian stable, testing and unstable
installations.

Thanks,
