Toshiba Tecra 8200 installation report ... some bad things

[Oliver Grawert]

hi,

installing my old tecra today i encountered the following problems:

second stage install hung at reboot, grub required adding pci=noacpi to
the kernel line to do the first boot (needed to add it later
to /boot/grub/menu.lst too).

sound didnt work, i figured out that the built in intel810 based
softmodem was detected as soundcard before the snd-ymfpci module was
loaded.

sudo echo snd-intel8x0m >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist

...didn't prevent it from being loaded !!

sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0m.ko 
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0m.prevent &&
sudo echo snd-intel8x0m >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist

...seems the only working solution which is very odd but works.

is there a more sane way to prevent modules from being loaded if
blacklisting obviously fails (probably changing the load order would
also be enough) ?

ciao
