(reposted from the Edubuntu list)
I have an older iMac booting from the network LTSP/Edubuntu.
On my Bondi iMac pulseaudio doesn't start. I've got the snd-powermac
module loaded and /dev/dsp exists and it will "beep" in both an xterm
session on the server and in a terminal session on the client -- but
that's not using Pulseaudio.
And "pa aux | grep pul" does not show it running. I have a newer G4
iBook that works just fine when booting off the same LTSP server.
If I try and manually start pulseaudio on the client I see:
root at ltsp:~# pulseaudio --system --disable-shm --no-cup-limit -n
pic.c: stale PID file, overwriting.
Aborted
I ran it with strace, but it doesn't seem to offer any help:

Only:
--- SIGILL (Illegal instruction) @ 0 (0) ---
Again, it works on a G4 powerpc iBook, but not on the Bondi.
Can you offer debugging suggestions?
Thanks,
