i backpedaled to 2.4.20 (vanilla, no patches). i grabbed this morning's ALSA CVS. i used the simplest kernel config i could come up with for my system. i recompiled everything, reinstalled, rebooted (several times, in fact).
the system runs fine for kernel compiles, X, browsing, emacs, development work ... in short, absolutely everything until an audio device is accessed. when that happens (actually, when it is first written to), we get either an oops or the system just locks totally solid (no magic-sysrq, nothing). from the oops files, there are some suggestions that the issue is SMP related. i am now downloading gcc 2.95.3 to try all over again. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
