Justin, Hi. Thanks. syslog from that series of boots is attached. Note the first boot, line 304 looks like this:
Dec 20 05:43:46 Wizard kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:807: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 100 iterations Dec 20 05:43:46 Wizard kernel: RME Hammerfall-DSP: no cards found but I didn't use sound that early in the morning, so I didn;t notice the problem. Later in the morning I finally started to kick off some work, but hdspmixer wouldn't load (line 382 or so...) and so I did a reboot. (line 414) This time the lines above did not repeat and I get a better message: (line 716) Dec 20 08:22:48 Wizard kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5061: Firmware already loaded, initializing card. If you wanted to look for other, similar, flaky aspects of Linux, my USB UPS does similar thins. Sometimes drivers load, sometimes I have to reboot to get them loaded. There is no pattern. This morning's cold boot worked jsut fine. I got both the HDSP and the UPS. I'm not clear about how to mess with the memory allocator, but I'm not sure that's appropriate after viewing the attached file. Thanks for your help!
