Subject: 2.6.11.x: bootprompt: ALSA: no soundcard detected

Hello,

I switched from 2.4 to 2.6.11 and found that the hard power-down now definetly needs ACPI, which stopped my soundplayer life from playing (stucking display and no sound), though. I installed 2.6.11.4, 2.6.11.5, and 2.6.11.7 but all three broke the hardware detection on my system. Now, with or without ACPI, the soundcard isn't even found.

There is no further error message, linux installs as always.

Regards,

Dennis Heuer

That means you didn't load the correct module for your soundcard.

Aehhm, you are completely on the wrong track! I installed 2.6.11.7 the same way I installed 2.6.11, with sound support statically included, but, though it worked fine without ACPI under 2.6.11, the same configuration under 2.6.11.7 does not work. There was no change in practise, only a change in behaviour.

It's definetly ACPI! I played around with ACPI options in the BIOS and got my card working again. However, now reiserfs sometimes hangs and remembers this state so that I must check it from a live-cd. Linux 2.6 is definetly more sensible than 2.4.
