• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Pagano 2012-12-19 18:34:51 UTC]

Arch teams, please consider stabilization of gentoo-sources-3.6.11 and vanilla-sources-3.6.11

[Comment 1 Agostino Sarubbo 2012-12-19 22:37:09 UTC]

amd64 stable

I think i2c is still broken in 3.6.11. I can't use the sound card of my iBook G4 because when it tries to load snd_powermac module.
Same problem with 3.5.7.

Vicente, is there an open bug for this upstream?

I don't know, but there were two patches that was suposed to fix the problem:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1521671/

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1521691/

Confirmed. I have compiled two kernel images with the same .config file. One with a fresh installed gentoo-sources, and the other one with the above patches applied. With the first one, my sound card is not detected. With the second one it works fine.
Mike, could you consider to include those patches in the gentoo kernel patch set?

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-12-29 17:26:47 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 7 Markus Meier 2013-01-26 11:05:35 UTC]

arm stable

[Comment 8 Mike Pagano 2013-01-27 16:20:17 UTC]

Vicente, are these patches in 3.7 ? Does that kernel provide the proper sound for you?

Please continue in bug 458602
