[2.6.0-t4/5] Error inserting module snd

[2.6.0-t4/5] Error inserting module snd

[Stefano Rivoir]

Hi all

When inserting module snd, modprobe bails out saying

snd: Unknown parameter 'device_mode'

The result is that the sound is completely unavailable. This happens 
with -test4 and -test5 (and -test5-mm2), but it was OK up to -test3,
IIRC.

Sorry if this was already reported

remove the parameter (device_mode). It could be in modprobe.conf, or in
your modprobe command line. There could be possibly others, obsoleted
parameters, so be prepared to remove more.

This is a configuration error: check modprobe.conf for the options for snd and 
remove the 'device_mode' part. Looks like the debian alsa stuff has this small 
incompatibility with the 0.9.6 kernel modules. BTW, I had the problem with 
-test3 already.

I am by no means an ALSA expert, but this solved the problem for me.

Right, too easy, more than what I thought (it's easy to give the fault 
to the kernel in these -testX days :P)

Thanks
