| |
I am having big problems with the SB16 sound driver for the latest kernels. I'm not sure when this started. Under kernel 2.0.4, loading sound.o via kerneld works *once* only. After that it loads, but puts:
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ10 failed - device disabled
in the syslog. I then get "device not availible" messages when trying to use any of the sound utils. On later kernels (2.0.6 and 2.0.7) I get a complete system hang the second time kerneld tries to load sound.o. (I've done this by hand with insmod as well). I did not try kernel 2.0.5.
It seems that the sound driver is leaving the card in a very bad state when it unloads. I compiled sound support into the kernel under 2.0.7, rebooted, and the kernel froze right after printing:
Sound initialization started
during the boot sequence.
I powered cycled the machine to get it to boot.
kernel: Sound initialization started kernel: <Sound Blaster 16 (4.5)> at 0x220 irq 10 dma 1,5 kernel: <Sound Blaster 16> at 0x330 irq 10 dma 0 kernel: <Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388 kernel: Sound initialization complete
And now everything seems to work.
