Hi all,
I loaded the snd-powermac module in my iMac G5, played a sound, and it
did not result in a crash. However, I did not manage to remove snd-aoa
(modprobe -r complained that it was in use), so I am not sure that the
test is valid.
In 2006, the freezes would typically happen in console mode, when
getting a beep at command-line, typically when pressing on TAB for bash
completion, or when GDM would try to greet the user with a beep. I
wanted to test snd-powermac in simimlar conditions, but apparenly, the
tab-completion is now silent and I do not know how to make artificial
console beeps...
In conclusion, if we manage to confirm that snd-powermac does not freeze
iMacs G5 anymore, we can try to ask on debian-boot@l.d.o if this module
can be removed from the blacklist.
Have a nice day,
