kernel 2.4.18 crash with alsa 1.0.1 (snd-au8820)
All,
I believe I have a crash with alsa 1.0.1 on kernel 2.4.18.
Here is what happened.
I took alsa-driver-1.0.1.tar.bz2 from ALSA site and followed the
instruction to build/install under "Aureal Generic" document (readme
that comes when you search for aureal cards). I did not create
~/.asoundrc (but a kernel crash cannot be because of that)
After than I did a rmmod of au8820.o (binary only version that I have
had for some time that I do not remmeber origin)
modprobe snd-au8820
modprobe snd-seq-oss
mpg123 <some mp3 file>
The system simply freezes and I have to powerdown/reset depending upon
if from inside X or console. When rmmod au8820.o I get the following. I
am not sure if this is significant.
Jan 15 22:01:41 lata kernel: Trying to free nonexistent resource
<f4000000-f403ffff>

<00001430-00001437>
Jan 15 22:01:41 lata kernel: au88xx: Unloaded.
Unfortuately I do not know what info I can offer for you to figure out
further. Since I get a freeze and reset I get quite a few fsck errors in
/var partitiion, if this is of any help.
BTW, I also go through modprobe'ing entire set (snd-au8820,
snd_pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss,snd-seq-oss) and get the same result.
Thanks and Regards
Ramesh
