When starting /etc/init.d/alsasound i get the following output: # /etc/init.d/alsasound start * Loading ALSA drivers ... * Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss ... and then it hangs :( when i kill the process which is modprobing ( yes i needed to remove alsasound from the runlevels to be able to boot) i see that all modules are loaded. Even snd-seq-oss is loaded correctly. So i _do_ have sound after alsasound is killed. when i run `dmesg` to see for any odd output i see the following: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:0c.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 0000:02:0c.0 is my soundcard according to lspci: 0000:02:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

I am seeing this problem in 1.0.6. Upgrading to 1.0.7 makes this problem go away, but then I end up with other problems, most notably an inability to write to /dev/dsp (mplayer and mpg123 both segfault when I try to use them to write to /dev/dsp).
I have 1.0.7 installed ill try downgrading to 1.0.6 maybe that'll help
1.0.6 didnt work either still no clue what it could be

What is the problem with? Is it alsa-utils or module-init-tools? Downgranding module-init-tools seems to have fixed it for me.
