[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#279731: alsa-source: On ppc: snd-powermac.o: unresolved symbol num_controls

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer]

Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.6a-6
Severity: normal


I didn't have any unresolvable problems with the 1.0.5 alsa modules, IIRC.

Since several weeks I could not loud the new alsa-drivers of the
1.0.6 series: The compile of the modules went smoothly, IIRC. But trying
to install or load them gives an error:

insmod --probe snd-powermac
Using /lib/modules/2.4.25-ben1/updates/alsa/snd-powermac.o
/lib/modules/2.4.25-ben1/updates/alsa/snd-powermac.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.25-ben1/updates/alsa/snd-powermac.o: unresolved
symbol num_controls

or this:
modprobe --verbose --debug  snd-card-0 &> <some-file>
gives this file:
