| |
After trying many h/w and s/w configurations, I've apparently isolated my instability issues to using the following the linux kernel highmem options: CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEMIO=y. I have 1GB ram, so maybe one of my dimms is bad or maybe there's a highmem bug in the 2.4.X kernel.
The crashes in my previous emails today were due to using the latest alsa modules (loaded, but not used by any application) with a HIGHMEM enabled kernel. I appear to have no problem using alsa when HIGHMEM is disabled. Apparently, I'm not the only one having problems with alsa and highmem (http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13918.html).
I would be willing to work with a kernel developer to better isolate this problem and test a patch.
Thank you,
