Description Denis Hennessy 2003-09-01 21:47:51 UTC
Description of problem: 
I have a dual-athlon computer with an audigy sound card. The soundcard 
detection app detects the audigy but fails to produce any sound. When I type 
some characters into the address field in mozilla, the computer will lock hard 
and produce the stack trace (attached) on a serial console. Since the stack 
trace is primarily made up of the audigy driver, I presume that's where the 
problem lies. This computer and sound card worked fine with RH9. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
kernel-2.4.21-1.1931.2.411.ent 
 
How reproducible: 
Every time. 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1.Boot computer 
2.Start Mozilla 
3.Type 3/4 characters into web address box in mozilla 
     
Actual results: 
Computer will freeze. Stack dump on attached serial console. 
 
Expected results: 
No freeze. 
 
Additional info: 
Attached next will be console log, sysreport output and output of lspci, 
lsmod, /proc/meminfo, /proc/cpuinfo

Comment 7 Denis Hennessy 2003-09-01 21:53:24 UTC
This is reported against the .411 kernel. It also happened with the .399 
kernel. 

Comment 9 Denis Hennessy 2003-09-05 23:05:39 UTC
This appears to be fixed in the .421 release of the kernel.
