Comment 2 Rahul Sundaram 2006-02-20 11:16:57 UTC

These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released
after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum
update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being
released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system
.Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of
this issue. Thanks

Comment 3 Henrik Nordstrom 2006-02-20 16:52:50 UTC
Still there. Quite expected as the bug is still open upstreams..

Did not test a full reinstall to check if the current sound installer has the
workaround mentioend above however.

Comment 4 Henrik Nordstrom 2006-03-17 21:33:22 UTC
Upstream repors it being fixed in their current tree (and pushed to 2.6.16), but
I have not yet verified this.

Have also found a workaround. See the upstream bug report for details.

Comment 5 Henrik Nordstrom 2006-10-02 23:57:34 UTC
Seems fixed in FC6 test3.

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 19:09:18 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

Comment 7 Henrik Nordstrom 2006-10-18 09:42:52 UTC
Currently running rawhide, and sound works fine by default.

kernel-2.6.18-1.2747.fc6

if you want I can reboot and test the FC5 update as well. Still have FC5 around
on another partition.

Comment 8 Dave Jones 2006-10-21 06:19:09 UTC
should be fixed in FC5 too, as the alsa code is 1:1 with what's in rawhide.

Thanks.
