Bug#300314: kernel bug
submitter 300314 Bluefuture <bluefuture@email.it>
thanks
Are you using a Dell laptop? The Linux 2.6.8 Changelog mentions a fix
for ALSA with a Dell. (But, you said it crashed under 2.6.8; thought
I'd ask anyway.) Knowing your machine type and sound card might help;
the kernel changelogs mention a number of "quirks" updates.
And, sorry, I have to ask again: Can you confirm the whole system
really froze? Like, even a remote ssh session would be disconnected,
and it didn't respond to ping, etc.?
Would you be able to test 2.6.9? I'm curious when the problem was
fixed. 2.6.9 seems to have a massive ALSA update, so it may well be
fixed there. This will help find where the fix is (since Sarge will
ship with 2.6.8, a fix needs to be applied before release).
You referred to the "latest alsa driver". Do you mean a userspace
alsa driver? As best I know, all of the alsa "drivers" are in the
kernel, but you referred to "2.6.10 AND latest alsa".
Thanks,
Justin
