Some details... I'm currently using Peter's "4.4.0-rc7-powerpc64 #1" kernel on an otherwise plain vanilla Debian Stretch base.
I seem to remember that Peter has a 4.5.0-rc2 kernel that may have some fixes
for sound in it that aren't in his 4.4.0-rc7 kernel, but I can't find the link
to download it from.
I have these modules loaded:
######## /etc/modules-load.d/local.conf ########
i2c_powermac
md_mod
raid1
I've attached dmesg and lsmod output.
Thanks again!
Rick
