Problems with alsa and 2.6.17 kernel
Hello,
I have recently installed alsa and successfully configured my on-board sound
(via82xx) using alsaconf. As long as I am using my current 2.6.16 kernel
all is well. When I use 2.6.17 however, I get an error message during boot:
Setting up ALSA:...warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error
message 'alsactl: load_state:1327: No soundcards found...'...done
Now, I can do alsaconf again, which works fine and I do get sound. However,
as soon as I reboot I get the same error message again and no sound.
I would be very glad for any kind of hint on what to do about this. Note
that this only happens with the 2.6.17 kernel.
Here is some additional info:
