Title:
  [PATCH] Remove 23etc_modules script

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This patch is one of several needed to fix sound on PowerPC. I've also
  added a patch to hw-detect - bug 1296373 .

  The script 23etc_modules causes snd_powermac to be loaded on every
  powerpc machine installed using a live/destop iso.  However,
  snd_powermac is only used on older machines.  Indeed, force loading
  snd_powermac is what has been causing the fatal "Fixing recursive
  fault rebooted is needed!" bug -
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066435

  The attached patch removes the whole 23etc_modules script since I
  can't see what else it does apart from add snd_powemac to
  /etc/modules.

  Removing 23etc_modules will mean that some old powerpc machines will
  lose sound on the live iso, however, it is likely that most of these
  will install via the alternate text 'debian installer'.  Hw-detect
  will sort out adding snd_powermac to /etc/modules so there will be no
  loss of functionality on the installed system.

  It would be excellent if this could make it into Trusty.

  Thanks.
