Bug Description

Using the last beta version of Mythbuntu 8.04, I was able to get an install made, however, no sound out of the PCHDTV5500. I upgraded to the new Mythbuntu Release candidate, and now it locks up with the new kernel.
rebooting with the prior kernel in the beta version, I blacklisted cx88-alsa in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and was able to boot. Clearly the Mythbuntu 8.04 Release candidate does not work (or even install) with my hardware:

MSI media live,(MS-6421 with latest bios)
AMD athlon 64x2 5600,
2 Gb ram, 650 Gb WD HD
PCHDTV5500

I need the cx88-alsa libs to work,since this Motherboard has no line-in.

I am used to the vagaries of Mandriva, this is my first experience with Ubuntu

Hello Dan,.

I believe you're running into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/212100

Update to the latest version of linux-ubuntu-modules and cx88-alsa should start working again. I'll mark this bug as a duplicate, plrease re-open if you think this is wrong.
