I have a machine which still hasn't recovered from your nForce patch. (-: I'd foolishly assumed that it would make stuff like network and sound work out of the box, and consequently was left with a Mandrake 9.0 machine sans the correct kernel sources and which would not boot into the old kernel (because it does something to the ext3 partitions which dismays the old kernel). I used my digital camera as removable storage and shuffled your version of the kernel sources across, rebuilt and reinstalled everything because the NVidia RPMs I had were unhappy about the differences between the Cooker gcc you'd used and the 9.0 gcc I was using, then manually remade the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build link which the newer kernel requires, because none of the RPMs do that when installed. Now I have a machine with working network and video, but which locks up as soon as you play a sound. I use no special kernel parameters on boot, modules.conf says: alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio alias sound-slot-1 i810_audio alias eth0 nvnet alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia hdparm says (80GB 7200RPM Seagate) 285/16.5 MB/s. Is there anything else I should be doing to make the sound driver deleriously happy? The nvaudio driver now builds with missing symbols (__wake_up, remove_wait_queue, register_sound_dsp, register_sound_mixer, interruptible_sleep_on_timeout, __pollwait, add_wait_queue, mem_map), which is odd because at least mem_map is kind of widely used, and which it didn't do before I fixed the `build' link. The i810_audio driver in your kernel seems to include all of the necessary stuff for nForce sound anyway, modulo the lockup. I could replace the built-in sound hardware with some nice Yamaha cards I have handy, but I'd like it all to work regardless and the lockup worries me. Cheers; Leon
