traceback from firstboot
Can you please run system-config-soundcard from console and attach the output? and attach /root/scsconfig.conf (it can be genetared by system-config-soundcard, in "System" tab") No output on the console, but I will attach the resulting scsrun.log, which contains basically the same traceback.

scsrun.log from failed run of system-config-soundcard
Okay, I traced it myself. This is crashing because the alsa playback device for snd_powermac does not have info.vendor, nor do any of its parents. Furthermore, getVendor() in soundcardHalBackend.py doesn't have a fallback for this case. It just returns "None", causing a traceback. I suspect we might need a workaround for snd_powermac - probably some fdi to add info.vendor = "Apple Computer Inc" to snd_powermac devices - but getVendor() should return something reasonable if it fails. Per the hal spec (http://people.redhat.com/davidz/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#device-properties-info), info.vendor isn't a mandatory property to be present for devices. For F-7, I've committed the very minimal handling of the fallthrough when the vendor isn't found to at least avoid things crashing. Post F7, this should be reworked a bit more (so leaving open for that) fixed in system-config-soundcard-2.0.6-6.fc6 |
