I've posted this problem before, and the oops reported below seems to be the same one.
I just CVS updated and rebuilt in all alsa-* directories. Aplay sigseg's and I get an oops. The first time I tried lead to a hard lockup. After rebooting, all I got was the oops. I'm using the nm256 driver on a Sony Z505S viao notebook with 2.4.22 of the kernel (with lowlatency and preemptive patches applied). [The usual kernal driver works fine and I have it configured to build as a module]. I'm using gcc 3.3.2 and configure with the following flags: In alsa-lib "--with-debug=no --with-gnu-ld" In alsa-driver "--with-cards=nm256 --with-sequencer=yes" In alsa-oss "--disable-alsatest --with-gnu-ld" Finally, much earlier versions of alsa (say 6 months old) worked in my setup, at least on earlier versions of the kernel. Here's what ksymoops gives: =========================================================================== ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.4.22. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -o /lib/modules/2.4.22/ (default) -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default) Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution. If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options. Warning (compare_maps): ksyms_base symbol IO_APIC_get_PCI_irq_vector_R__ver_IO_APIC_get_PCI_irq_vector not found in System.map.
