  • Bug#265781: don't remove kernel 2.4 or bye-bye ppp, alsa

    So we see that something alsa left in /etc/modprobe.d knocked out ppp etc.

    # pppd ...
    pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
    the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
    included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
    module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'....
    # /sbin/modprobe -v ppp
    FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa: No such file or directory
    # ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/alsa
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2004-03-24 02:42 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa -> /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0
    # mv /etc/modprobe.d/alsa /etc/was-modprob.d-alsa

    OK, ppp works now on kernel 2.6. I can play music too.
    I was able to remove kernel 2.4 and the 2.4 alsa modules.

    # mv /etc/modprobe.d/alsa /etc/was-modprob.d-alsa

    I thought so. That is a actually a very old bug. I thought the upgrade
    script for one of the recent ALSA's actually went to the trouble of
    removing the modprobe.d and modutils files ...

    What's more distressing is how this knocks out other programs, (severity=critical)
    to the bewilderment of users. Wishlist against mod-utils or whatever
    it's called?

    Also the alsa docs should say what one needs to do for kernel 2.6...
    and for 2.4/2.6 on same disk folks.
