When starting up Quake III Arena (latest build from portage), the sound initialization begins and the program commits a segfault. This ties up /dev/dsp. When I was paging through my system logs I found the following: Nov 28 21:38:28 odin forget_pte: old mapping existed! Nov 28 21:38:28 odin kernel BUG at memory.c:290!

Attempting to use the i810_audio module works, but will lock up Quake III while entering a tier 1 map. Playing without sound at all is perfectly fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load the nvaudio module 2. start quake3 3. read system logs Actual Results: segfault and system logs show a kernel BUG Expected Results: Play with the nvaudio module and be able to play quake III with sound Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.4.22) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.22 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.noved.org/ ftp://gentoo.noved.org/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo ftp://cudlug.cudenver.edu/pub/mirrors/distributions/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib directfb alsa gdbm berkdb slang readline java mysql postgres X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk motif opengl ldap 3dnow 3ds cdr dnd emacs faad geoip glut gnomedb gtk2 joystick matroska mbox mdb mldonkeypango mng mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozp3p mozsvg mozxmlterm nowin oav offensive openal pda S3TC sox sse tcltk usb videos wmf Xaw3d -arts -cups -kde -qt -svga"
Can you please run that OOPS through 'ksymoops' please? $> emerge ksymoops $> ksymoops < file_containing_your_OOPS > file_containing_your_output ... and * paste * file_containing_your_output into bugzilla ? Can you please do this on the faulty kernel.

What sound hardware are you using?
This is an onboard nForce2 MCP audio device on a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2.
try using the i810_audio driver (or better yet, use snd-intel8x0 from alsa) instead of the closed source, impossible to debug nvaudio driver
