The aumix loading in rc.sysinit is inside a "if" on sound modules (checks if sound module is in conf.modules, it should be separate and use /proc/devices like the halt scripts... You know, non modular sound still exists... Because right now it does not works with my kernel with non-modular sound (well I just pulled the aumix part out of the "if" so it would work) Where is rhsound gone?
rhsound went away. This will be fixed in initscripts-4.66-1; the mixer loading will be done automatically if sound is registered in /proc/devices.
In the new initscript 4.67-1, there is an error in the test for the grep, part the syntax is totally incorrect, you cannot have a grep directly inside a [] (which stands for the test command (man test and man bash)) The grep and the test have to be separated and combined with "&&" like that: this is what should be in the next version: if (grep -q "\(sparcaudio\|sound\)" /proc/devices 2>/dev/null) && [ -f /etc/.aumixrc -a -x /bin/aumix-minimal ]; then
fixed in initscripts-4.69-1, in raw hide now.
