That said, if you boot without i915, drop the index option.
I booted without i915 and did not set any index options (the default behaviour of tinycorelinux is to boot clean like a live-CD distro)
Ah OK, that's the way the current HD-audio driver behaves. It takes the card at first, then it leaves when the i915 component binding fails (like nomodeset). It's good to keep the device assignment consistent. OTOH, it may leave the card#0 empty as a result. So this is the expected behavior.
Great - so the expected behaviour is for it to fail :P
Is there any chance of that being fixed in the future?
