sound does not work any more on ppc live CD

[Martin Pitt]

The current dapper live CD does not load snd_powermac automatically any more; in
fact, it does not load *any* ALSA module, so /proc/asound does not even exist
any more. Manually modprobing it works and brings back sound.

<BenC> snd_powermac is one of those drivers that doesn't have hotplug, so it
just needs to be always loaded (and is for installs)

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Installs place this in /etc/modules

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This bug is still present, snd_powermac needs to be loaded on the live CD. Which package's bug is that then?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Tollef, since this is a live-cd specific bug, is casper the package which needs this fix? (Adding snd_powermac to /etc/modules on powerpc)

[raboof (arnouten)]

Bug #34820 might be a duplicate of this issue.

casper (1.40) dapper; urgency=low

  * Add snd_powermac to /etc/modules on ppc. (Malone: #27862)
  * Use chmod -x instead of mv to disable readahead in order to not
    trigger unionfs bugs
  * Reboot the system when a key is pressed at the end of the integrity
    check. (Malone: #29203)
  * Use usplash_write too when doing shutdown. (Malone: #34537)
