Weird Lockups II
I patched my 2.2.14 kernel w/ Andrea's aa7 patch, rebuilt the kernel and
tried again. The system seems more stable than before, I am not getting
random lockups with most things. However, I can lockup my system 9 times
out of 10 by playing audio through an es1370 sound board with the driver
as a module. I have not tried compiling in sound support monolithically,
but I have a feeling the problem is centered around the sound card's alpha
support, or Alpha PCI support, rather than a lower level bug as before.
Anyone able to repeat this problem w/ an Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370?
Also, could someone summarize the main differences in the Alpha arch b/w
the 2.2.x series and the 2.3.x kernels? Have Andrea's patches made it
into 2.3.x? Should we be focusing more on 2.3.x?
