Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Robert Forsman <gentoo>

Status:	RESOLVED UPSTREAM

Attachments:	.config file for the kernel I am running

Description Robert Forsman 2005-02-13 16:04:59 UTC

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.

.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.

Comment 3 Robert Forsman 2005-05-18 10:50:08 UTC

I gave up on the nforce-audio package and switched to ALSA.  I'm still happy
after a couple of days of use.
