Software:
Mandrake Linux Version 8.2 SMP Kernel with all updates
Running KDE
Problem:
When updating or fresh installing Mandrake 9.0 on the machine at the reboot
after a successful install the machine will freeze when opening the KDE windows
manager. Requires a power off to gain control of the computer.
Situation:
This computer as configured has run the ML 8.2 flawless. The problem occurred
when updating to the new ML 9.0. The update went without a problem, all packages
installed correctly, up and until the first reboot. At the stage when starting
the KDE windows manager the computer froze. The only way to get out was to
turn off the computer with the power button or reset switch. This was attempted
numerous times with the same results.
We then replaced the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card with a Sound Blaster
Live! 5.1. After replacing the sound card the computer booted and ran without
problems.
We tried everything imagiable, tweaking the BIOS and various boot switches.
Nothing worked with the Santa Cruz sound.
One thing notices was in the /var/log/kernel/errors file:
1. Oct 5 18:03:05 sword kernel: cs46xx: cs46xx_setup_eapd_slot() Failure to
write the GPIO pins for slot 12.
This was the only error that addresses the sound card.
Present:
Now running Mandrake Linux 9.0 with SoundBlasterd Live!
Question:
Has any one with the same or similar hardware experienced this problem and
what was the outcome?
Thank you
Larry
