I have load this soundfonts for years :-) No problems to load the soundfont in kernel 2.6.4 alsa 1.0.2c but still no load in 2.6.5, i checked in two machines gentoo and Debian .. I made the sfxload after booting ... free command after login is: Mem total 515728 used 37940 free 477788 ----> in kernel 2.6.5 Mem total 515728 used 38916 free 476824 ----> in kernel 2.6.4 Then i try to run sfxload .... in kernel 2.6.4 loads in a seconds ... in kernel 2.6.5 i wait minutes .... then i login in other tty and i try to kill the sfxload .... no way ... and i use reboot command .... then appears the error message.
