(In reply to comment #0) > alsa can not load drivers. no sound card detected > > Reproducible: Always As an amd64 alsa user I haven't had this problem. Try using a different kernel config. I like to use pappys seeds when something breaks, to see if it's just me. http://www.kernel-seeds.org/ I actually did the r6 to r10 transition too.
thank you for the seeds link. just to update. alsa in now working. when i configured the kernel with menuconfig. i still had no luck. if i looked in the kernel config. there seemed to be no info there on sound. even dough i had added it by way of menuconfig i manually opened up the config file and added the relevant stuff. rebuilt kernel. alsa is working.
Please provide kernel config and list of files in /lib/modules/`uname -r` if the problem still exists. Also use "make oldconfig" when transferring a kernel config from an old to a new kernel.
