Hi,
Can anyone help with this? I would be happy to try out any patches or supply
other requested info, if you would give me directions how to get it. I don't yet
know enough about kernel internels to do much more myself...
I tried installing 2.0.18 but the system locked solid after the boot message:
"Sound initialization started"
I had to press the reset button and boot 1.2.13 :(
There are 2 non-default settings for my SB16: the IRQ is 10 and the MPU401 port
is 0x300. By inserting printk's, I located the line at which the hang occurs, as
follows:-
--- Begin trace
drivers/sound/dev_table.c:99 (start_cards)
calls sound_drivers[drv].attach (attach_sb_card),
after printing the "Sound initialization started" message
drivers/sound/sb_card.c:27 (attach_sb_card)
calls sb_dsp_init
drivers/sound/sb_common.c:680 (sb_dsp_init)
calls snd_set_irq_handler
drivers/sound/soundcard.c:503 (snd_set_irq_handler)
HANGS on (macro) call to restore_flags.
request_irq has been "successfully" called for the configured IRQ (10)
The failing routine:-
486 int
487 snd_set_irq_handler (int interrupt_level, void (*iproc) (int, void *, struct pt_regs *), char *name, int *osp)
488 {
489 int retcode;
490 unsigned long flags;
491
492 save_flags (flags);
493 cli ();
494
495 retcode = request_irq (interrupt_level, iproc, 0 /* SA_INTERRUPT */ , name, NULL);
496 if (retcode < 0)
497 {
498 printk ("Sound: IRQ%d already in use\n", interrupt_level);
499 }
500 else
501 irqs |= (1ul << interrupt_level);
502
503 restore_flags (flags);
504 return retcode;
505 }
--- End trace
The previous kernel I had handy was 2.0.0 - this initialises OK. As a test, I
did a "cat english.au>/dev/audio" : worked fine except a bit loud perhaps (but I
think I saw mail about that earlier).
Today I have tried building a number of intermediate kernel revisions, with the
following results:-
2.0.9 - hangs same as 2.0.18
2.0.4 - didn't compile. Added missing semicolon to
drivers/sound/sb_common.c:1176, now it would build but panicked during sound
initialisation: "Unable to dereference NULL pointer"
2.0.2 - panics same as 2.0.4
2.0.6 - hangs same as 2.0.9, 2.0.18
2.0.1 - panics same as 2.0.4, 2.0.2
It looks to me as if something was broken at 2.0.1, and "partly fixed" at 2.0.6
or 2.0.5 (will try that last one tomorrow). But what?
Any ideas, anyone?
Cheers ... Duncan.
P.S. In case it is any help, here is the bootup o/p from 2.0.0:-
Console: 16 point font, 400 scans
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25, 1 virtual console (max 63)
Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 33.18 BogoMIPS
Memory: 30952k/32896k available (784k kernel code, 384k reserved, 776k data)
This processor honours the WP bit even when in supervisor mode. Good.
