Description of problem: The snd_powermac driver does not detect the sound card anymore. The driver is being loaded during system startup, but alsa claims no devices found: [sun@lain ~ (0) 19]$ /sbin/lsmod |grep snd snd_powermac 53964 0 snd_seq_dummy 4100 0 snd_seq_oss 42420 0 snd_seq_midi_event 8672 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 66720 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 10284 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 51344 0 snd_mixer_oss 22496 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 103268 2 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 29284 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 72596 8 snd_powermac,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11652 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11592 1 snd_pcm [sun@lain ~ (0) 20]$ cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- [sun@lain ~ (0) 21]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 750CXe temperature : 1 C (uncalibrated) clock : 499.999000MHz revision : 34.21 (pvr 0008 2215) bogomips : 33.15 timebase : 16640000 platform : PowerMac machine : PowerBook4,1 motherboard : PowerBook4,1 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 257 (iBook 2) pmac flags : 0000001b L2 cache : 256K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. cat /proc/asound/cards 3.

Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next days: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2006-April/022195.html (at least devel for the moment)
Fixed in kernel-2.6.16-1.2153_FC6
Tested today. Works fine. Thanks, -Joseph
