Invalid 'device_mode' parameter passed to snd.ko prevents sound driver from being loaded in Dapper

Hi,

Could you include a copy of /etc/modules.conf in an attachment to this
bug?

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/43738/+addattachment

Thanks.

/etc/modules as requested.

Hello,

Could you provide /etc/modules.conf as well? They have similar names
which are easily confused. :)

Thanks!

I checked the directory. There was /etc/modules but
no /etc/modules.conf.

Hello,

Ah yes. Then I'd like to ask you to run:
$ modprobe -n -v --first-time snd 2>&1 | tee /tmp/modprobe-snd.log
$ cd /etc
$ cat modprobe.conf $(find modprobe.d) > /tmp/modprobes.txt

Then please attach /tmp/modprobe-snd.log and /tmp/modprobes.txt to
this bug.

Thanks again.

My pleasure.

Hmm. Did you happen to get any output for:
$ sudo modprobe -n -v --first-time snd

Thanks.

This was the output;

install modprobe --ignore-install snd && { modprobe -Qb
snd-ioctl32 ; : ; }

The 'device_mode' parameter to snd.ko was removed some time ago, so /some/ conffile in your 'alsa-base' package holds a reference to it. Is this install a dist-upgrade from Hoary or Breezy?

Yes, I upgraded from a warty cd to breezy then dapper online.
