ALSA works with no problem using udev-103, and doesn't with udev-104.
Works just perfectly fine here; reopen once you've posted something to actually diagnose the problem instead of asking us to guess. Thanks.

Thanks. > Between udev-103 and udev-104-r4 a change was made that disabled the detection of sound cards on ppc. There are no error messages, other than device not found.

Well sorry but we *really* can't guess. Unless you provide some info to diagnose the problem, this won't move anywhere.
The problem was in the combination of baselayout version and udev-104. Changing baselayout from 1.12.4-r7 to 1.12.9 solved the issue. (In reply to comment #3) > Well sorry but we *really* can't guess. Unless you provide some info to > diagnose the problem, this won't move anywhere. >
Closed.
