2.6.17-rc2 alsa
I updated from 2.6.16 to the new 2.6.17-rc2 today and now alsa complains
about a missing driver:
ibookg4 ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ...
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1163: No soundcards found...
[ !! ]
* Unloading ALSA ...
[ ok ]
* Unloading ALSA modules ...
[ ok ]
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ...
[ ok ]
* Loading: snd-pcm-oss ...
[ ok ]
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers
[ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...
[ ok ]
As far as I can see, the required modules are all loaded:
ibookg4 ~ # lsmod | grep snd
snd_pcm_oss 47008 0
snd_mixer_oss 19552 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_powermac 47004 0
snd_pcm 92932 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_powermac
snd_timer 23044 1 snd_pcm
snd 60948 5
snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_powermac,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 8676 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 8776 1 snd_pcm
I run Gentoo Linux on an iBook G4 12" 1,33GHz (mid 2005, PowerBook6,7).
Here the sound parts of the config:
CONFIG_I2C_POWERMAC=m
(and module is loaded; also tried it with =y)
