Bug#658728: closed by Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> (Re: patch_realtek: no more sound on HP Compaq dx2200 MT)
Thanks for the civil closing, and sorry about not replying for months.
Lack of time mainly. Plus a hardware & kernel change since then. The
hardware for #658728 is still here however. Still the same old hard
disk images, upgraded and copied to ever larger disks since 1998.
I've also reported other easier (or should that be seemingly easier, or
maybe theoretically easier) Debian bugs, and regret not devoting more
of those bugs time to this bug.
So if I ever get a chance, it'd be nice to complete doing my bit to help
solve #658728...
Off topic, sort of: would something like 'ksplice'[1] help here, or in
similar cases, the better to ease the user burden of bandwidth &
recompiling?
