Description Chris Lee 2002-11-07 05:52:35 UTC

Using ppc-kernel-sources 2.4.19-r6 and alsa-0.9.0_rc5 from the ebuild with the 
snd-powermac module on an iBook2 (dual usb, 600MHz). Loading the ALSA modules 
will sometimes generate an OOPS, but the machine stays running.... once the 
modules are loaded, using anything to write to the sound device instantly 
panics the kernel and hangs the machine.

What is in your kernel configs?  Do you have any other sound stuff i there at
all, and is alsa configured correctly on the local machine?

Clee:

Don't bother with alsa, I'm going to permanently set -ppc on it, they upstream
guys can never get it right and it works on about 20% of ppc machines if we are
lucky.  None of my ppc hardware is capable of running alsa so I cannot test. sorry
