problem loading opti9xx ALSA module

I'm having trouble with my Diamond Wavetable sound card (Opti Audio 16). I think it's an ISA PnP card. It's giving me problems at boot time (abort, stack trace) and of course I don't have working sound. I tried commenting out the install lines with snd-opti* in them in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.

Hi Josep, According to the documentation ( can't remember where exactly ) it's stated that the preseed system can't handle 2 disks. I'm trying to find a decent work around for it but no luck yet. All we can do is hope the Debian developers will fix this some day. Richard Pijnenburg -Oorspro
