Marshal, There is a Seg fault problem with the ALSA drivers.
I have a Creative Ensoniq PCI64 (ens1371) soundcard and the ALSA drivers do the same thing to me. This is on a S.u.S.E. system with kernel 2.2.5. What I do is to put the modprobe command in a script in my /root/bin directory and run it manually until the driver "catches" and doesn't segfault. Then, everything works fine. Since I almost never reboot my machine, this works well for me. I have reported this to the ALSA people. They responded that it was a S.u.S.E. problem. Apparently it isn't. I would recommend you go to the ALSA site and report it yourself. Regards, Arne > I'm using the latest potato right now. The ALSA source compiled fine. > I used make-kpkg to install the modules.
