[Bug 45152] Re: Installed system on an SMU ppc64 G5 loads a dangerous module

[Zarniwhoop]

 Yes, it is a dup of #23445, dunno why that didn't show up when I
searched (/me loathes the idiosyncracies of each bugtracking system).

 I agree the workaround should work for a little while, but my
experience in a console with the powermac sound loaded was that it would
lock up fairly soon, as if snd-powermac twiddles bits it has no right to
touch.

 Also, trying to use a console without the tab key is damned hard!

 At the moment, the box is running 2.6.17-rc5 with snd-aoa and sound works - snd-aoa should be in alsa soon (possibly, 2.6.18) and when that happens the problem will disappear because the powermac driver is being fixed to not load when a layout ID is present.  See
