linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic: audio card 82801H does not work

[Nadège Gauffre-Fayolle]

Package: linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic
Version: 2.6.24-21.42
Severity: important

I recently installed an upgrade which included a new kernel 2.6.24-21. Since then, the sound no longer works.

lspci extract : 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)


Booting with the previous version of the kernel (2.6.24-19) restores the sound.
