RE: [Cooker] kernel is very buggy
I upgraded to 2.4.10-1mdk last night, and tried to setup the OSS (4FronTech). The setup went fine, and the insertion/initialization of the modules too; but when I tried to play a wav file, I got another oops. It was a page allocation oops. The funny thing is that even tough the kernel had a panic and the machine was locked up, the sound kept playing in a loop. I guess since it was not servicing any more interrupts, the sound card was caught in a loop. What do you guys think? = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Unless my RAM got mad at me for installing a new kernel, and decided to mess with a few bits here and there exactly after I upgraded the kernel ... not very likely if you ask a mathematician ;) BTW, do you read the kernel mailing list? = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Strange thing is after lots of messing around, I can get my machine working with PC100 RAM but not PC133 RAM... PC133 causes the 8.1 installer to fail with lots of memory errors and caused a number of oopses with the kernel (random things, no one particular way to crash it). I'm pretty sure my motherboard is hosed and that is the problem (here at least), so it could very well be a RAM or motherboard issue for him as well. It's really wierd (or 2.4.8 is ultra sensitive to the hardware somehow, but I doubt that's it). The reason I think this is I even tried installing 8.0 and got errors during install there as well when before it worked fine. And as soon as I put PC100 RAM in there (despite BIOS being set to 133), everything cleared up. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.
