After upgrading to gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5 on my laptop, I noticed that the machine stops indefinitely (well, I left it for a minute before hard powering down) at the "Unloading ALSA modules ..." when I try to reboot/halt. After I rebooted, I tried manually /etc/init.d/alsasound stop, with the same results. However, since my machine wasn't halting, I went to another VT and did a "modprobe -r snd_hda_intel", which produced the following ERRORs (but the service did stop): * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service. * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ... [ ok ] * Killing processes using ALSA ... [ ok ] * Unloading ALSA modules ... ERROR: Removing 'snd_hda_intel': No such file or directory ERROR: Removing 'snd_hda_codec': No such file or directory ERROR: Removing 'snd_pcm': No such file or directory ERROR: Removing 'snd_timer': No such file or directory ERROR: Removing 'snd': No such file or directory This does not happen on gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5 with the same hardware. It's a Dell D820, Core Duo, soundcard is SigmaTel STAC9200 using HDA Intel. Reproducible: Always
