Thats alright, it's still better then my situation:
SMP + Buslogic 956c + Kernels>2.1.101 + Any SB16 (or awe 32) = Hard lock
I can't find the problem, and I've tried backing out patches but there were some real extensive changes to the sound system so I can't just do a single patch at a time..
Part of the problem is the buslogic.. If I hook up an IDE and run form it or boot single user and cp a player and a file to a ramdisk and play it the computer doesn't lock until I cause a disk access..
I'm fairly sure it's a deadlock bettwen the two drivers but I can't see it.. The sb drivers are a mess of cli's..
Why doesn't Linus have this problem? Does he not have a sound blaster 16+ or does this only affect certian buslogic cards or only 586 smp systems?
