Some bugs I noticed....
After using 8.1 Release and upgrading to 8.2 Beta... System is Athlon 1200, RTL 8139, WinTV-GO, Belkin firewire. SB AWE64. I noticed I'm prompted for XF 4.1 although 4.2 is actually installed. Harddrake seems to have a problem configuring my sound card. It finds module isa-pnp not present. Sure enough it's not there. (I had no idea it existed anyway but...) I checked the BIOS settings to make sure everything is PNP (DMA and IRQ), then decided to try the old way. pnpdump > /etc/somefile <edit file> isapnp /etc/somefile modprobe sb so far so good. The mixer appears, but I can't play anything. no sound comes out. All the IRQs and DMAs seem right but no sound. I retried without artsd and the same thing happens. Funny that the noise volume corresponds to the mixer volume setting so something is happening. I also started getting corruption of the characterset on boot (terminal in graphics mode or something like that). Unable to get grname for user $��%�%"�%�"$�"%$�^$^ (except the funny characters included graphic chars.). This prevented me from using what I presume was the textmode sound config wizard. Lastly, I got users who lost their group after the install, and sure enough /etc/group reflected the fact that a few of the users suddenly no longer belonged to any group.
