Description Volker Schroer 2004-03-30 12:21:35 UTC

On ppc-development-sources-2.6.3-r2 module snd-powermac fails to load.
Hardware iBook G4
Using modprobe shows

Invalid argument 

In kernel.log you find "snd_powermac falsely claims to have parameter enable"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe snd-powermac
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
No soundcard available in /proc/asound


I deleted the following lines in powermac.c

MODULE_PARM(enable,"i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(enable,"Enable this soundchip");
MODULE_PARM_SYNTAX(enable,SNDRV_ENABLE_DESC);

After recompiling the modules you can start snd-powermac successfully and sound
will be played by aplay

Is this still an issue for newer kernels? If so, please reopen.
