I have a Dell Latitude CPiA, which uses the Neomagic nm256av chipset. If I try to use the alsa snd-card-nm256 driver, my machine locks up hard. I have to hold down the power button for several seconds to force it to power off. There is no output on the screen and no indication of what went wrong.
However, the in-kernel OSS/Lite driver (nm256_audio) works fine.
I am using kernel 2.4.17 and alsa0.9.10beta10.

Anyhow, what can I do about this?
