[alsa-devel] no soundcards detected on MCP51 rev a

[Gregory T Flynn]

Well here is the problem with downgrading kernels, i just tried
booting the Arch LTS kernel package which is 2.6.27 and i have an EXT4
root partition, therefor that kernel can't boot.  Is there any good
way to get an ALSA build prior to 1.0.20 to compile against kernel
2.6.33?
