I can emerge nforce-audio, but when I do a modprobe nvaudio, the system freezes hard. There are no messages to the console, and keyboard input has no effect. I have to use the reset or power button. I even encountered some Reiser filesystem corruption after one crash (although I can't be sure that the filesystem wasn't corrupt BEFORE I started playing with nforce audio. The machine had been in operation for several months). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge nforce-audio modprobe nvaudio Actual Results: hard freeze. Expected Results: provided me with a working audio device I think I'm booting with noapic, as suggested in bug 22653. There is no ASUS linux driver for this motherboard.
Created attachment 51166 [details] .config file for the kernel I am running This is the .config file I copied into /boot when I installed the kernel I am currently running.
Can you please try to upgrade to the latest version? nforce-audio-1.0.0292-r1.ebuild If it does not work then, please report your problems to nvidia .. we cant really fix their binaries.
I gave up on the nforce-audio package and switched to ALSA. I'm still happy after a couple of days of use. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"
