I'm running RedHat 7.3 (RH kernel 2.4.20-20.7, gcc 2.96-113), and have a generic Aureal Vortex 1 card (au8820 chipset). Compiling and installing the 1.0.0pre1 ALSA driver works fine, but if I do a 'modprobe snd-au8820', the computer locks up instantly (can't even ssh in from another computer).
Going back through recent CVS commits, I found that the problem is caused by the changes described in the following alsa-cvslog message:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6552838
Specifically, the problem is caused by the changes Takashi made to
au88x0.h and au88x0.c to eliminate calls to pci_request_regions() and
pci_release_regions(). If I revert those two files to their previous
versions, the driver compiles and works fine. I'm not an ALSA driver
guru, but I didn't see anything immediately wrong with the changes
introduced by the above CVS commit that would cause such a drastic
kernel error. Perhaps someone more familiar with the code in question could take another look at those changes?
